How to connect a controller in Warzone Mobile

Now that Warzone Mobile has launched, let’s go over how to connect a controller. Whether it’s a PS5 controller, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, or a mobile-specific gamepad, here’s how you do it.

Playing Call of Duty on a smartphone – without a controller – is a tedious activity. Your phone gets hot, the on-screen controls cover the screen, and it’s also just a bit awkward. On top of that, using a specific gamepad will give you a huge advantage in terms of accuracy, comfort, and visibility.

Fortunately, CoD Mobile also has controller support, limited as it may be. Because of that, it’s more than possible to play the game using a controller. To help you with this, we’ll be going through the various types of controllers that have full official support. We will also be detailing how to connect them to your device in such a way that you’re able to play without having to rely on the on screen touch controls.
