One of the star devices of the last keynote, apart from the new iPhone and iPad Pro, was the long-awaited Apple TV, which has undergone a complete makeover. One of the main new functions of this device allows us to use Apple TV as a video game console, which will allow us to enjoy the spectacular games available in the App Store and that for unusual users of playing, is the perfect way to enjoy on the big screen of our home, without having to perform AirPlay.
This fourth generation of Apple TV, which is already in the hands of several developers, so that they can optimize their applications and games to the new tvOS that manages it. And little by little new functions are being discovered like the last one in which a developer has just verified that This device will only allow us to connect two MFi controllers at the same time. The remote to control Apple TV is also connected via bluetooth but it does not count towards this limitation.
With this limitation, and if we eliminate the remote control from the Apple TV, we have the possibility of adding up to three MFi controllers to enjoy up to three players at the same time to our favorite games. But this limitation It only affects the MFi controllers but not the iPhone if we connect it to play our games, which as we saw in the keynote is also possible.
Using the iPhone as a controller assumes that developers they will have to adapt their games to add support to this "controller", which takes extra extra effort for users to enjoy games on Apple TV. It is possible that Apple can remove this restriction via update, such as the possibility of producing 4K content via software by Apple.
