You can also connect a PS3 controller to a phone via Bluetooth, but it does take a few steps. First, you鈥檒l need to root your Android phone. Then, use an app like Sixaxis Compatibility Checker to ensure your phone is compatible. Once confirmed, download the Sixaxis Controller App, pair your controller, and you鈥檙e good to go!

Hot take: I wouldn鈥檛 bother connecting a PS3 controller to your phone. Just get a modern Bluetooth controller; it鈥檚 way easier and compatible.

I've done this before! All you need is the Sixaxis Controller app on your Android device. You might need to root your phone first, but it works like a charm once set up.
