  • The RPCS3-Android emulator has now been updated with Bluetooth controller support.
  • This allows you to play PS3 games on your Android device using a mobile controller, Xbox gamepad, and more.
  • This new update also adds initial support for game folders and fixes several issues.

The RPCS3-Android emulator was released roughly a month ago, and it achieved the amazing feat of running PlayStation 3 games on a smartphone. It’s still in early development, but things have been moving very quickly. Now, the developer has added Bluetooth controller support to the app.

RPCS3-Android version alpha 6 was released on the developer’s GitHub page yesterday (March 24), and the most notable addition is Bluetooth controller support. The app had some support for USB-C gamepads and apparently supported some PlayStation controllers, but this opens the door to a wide variety of mobile and console controllers.
