I couldn’t get my 8BitDo Bluetooth controller to work at all, even though it shows up in Windows as an Xbox controller. Here's a helpful controller guide.Ĭall of Duty Mobile, GRID Autosport, Minecraft, Grand Theft Auto, and many other games work with controllers, but BlueStacks’ detection seems to be spotty. This process takes a bit of trial and error, but BlueStacks does have built-in control presets available for some popular games, and you can import presets that other BlueStacks users have made.īlueStacks can also detect game controllers connected to your PC and let you use them with compatible Android games. Then you can play the game with a typical WASD key layout. For example, if a game has an on-screen D-Pad for movement, open the Controls Editor (the keyboard button on the right panel) and drag BlueStack’s D-Pad on top of it. Where BlueStacks really shines with games is the ability to create custom controls that bind on-screen buttons to keys on your keyboard.
