Control PC games from your iPhone

Remote Gamepad lets your iPhone act as a flexible controller for PC gaming. Use your phone to play games on a Windows PC with familiar, touch-based controls or motion-driven input—perfect for racing titles where the device can serve as a steering wheel. The app reproduces traditional gamepad buttons and layouts on-screen so you get a comfortable, console-like experience on your phone.

Features at a glance

  • Works with Windows PCs and any game that accepts controller input.
  • Connect using either Wi‑Fi or a USB cable—no extra gadgets required.
  • On-screen buttons and sticks designed to resemble conventional gamepads for smooth gameplay.
  • Motion steering mode that turns your phone into a wheel for racing and driving games.
  • Forwards input from physical controllers attached to your phone so those controllers control the PC.

How it operates

Once connected, Remote Gamepad sends your phone’s button presses and touch actions to the PC as controller input. If you have a hardware controller paired to the phone, the app can pass those inputs through to the computer as well. The result is immediate, low-latency control that behaves like a native gamepad on the PC.

Quick setup guide

  1. Install Remote Gamepad on your iPhone and run it.
  2. Choose a connection method: tap the Wi‑Fi option or plug the phone in via USB.
  3. Pair with the PC following the on-screen instructions.
  4. Select a control layout or enable motion steering for racing titles.
  5. Launch your PC game and enjoy using your iPhone as the controller.
