Using Apple TV as a casual gaming device, mostly Apple Arcade (alien.top)

Hey folks -
I play a LOT of games on my iPhone 15, but I'm curious how the newest gen Apple TV would be for a couch option. Do any of you use this as a gaming device? Can you use a controller with it like you can on the iPhone?

I'd use it for our TV as well but I'm curious how the gaming experience is on it.

/u/Bucktroo I'm not a big gamer, but this is my experience. It isn't a console in the traditional sense (my kids have PS5s, it's nothing like that). However, the games that are made for the iOS/tvOS environment look fantastic and operate very well on Apple TV. I have a handful that I'll play for a bit when the urge hits and it works great. I bought a controller from 8-Bit Do that works with both my Apple TV and Windows PC. Makes things even better.
