The Razer Kazuyo appears to be Razer’s entry into the iPhone gamepad race, as an allegedly leaked image shared by Twitter user @evleaks reveals (via The Verge). The Kazuyo falls closer to the Logitech PowerShell than it does to PowerA’s Moga Ace Power in terms of design, and like the Logitech controller, the Kazuyo offers up four face buttons, two shoulder buttons, and a directional pad. The PowerA peripheral, on the other hand, also adds a pair of console-style analog nubs, though the Kazuyo reportedly employs the same all-analog button interface that the Moga does.

There’s little more to be said about the Kazuyo at this point. The dock portion of the device is on a hinge that allows your iPhone or iPod Touch to tilt upward at a 45-degree angle. The face buttons are also reportedly backlit. Regard all of this as image-supported rumor for now. Razer has yet to confirm anything, but with Logitech and PowerA products both now available, and 2014’s CES show in Las Vegas just weeks away, it’s not unreasonable to expect some sort of reveal – assuming the Kazuyo is legit – in the near future.

Below you’ll find the complete image provided by the tipster, including a look at the Kazuyo with the inserted iOS device angled up.

How to set up PS4 Remote Play on Android and iOS

how to use dualshock 4 and xbox one controller with apple devices ps4 ios 13 support

The PlayStation 4 has supported remote play for a long time on Sony devices, including the PS Vita, PS TV, and Xperia phones. With the release of firmware 7.0.0 in 2019, Sony opened the flood gates, allowing Android and iOS users to stream to their mobile devices (PC users, too). Getting connected is a little involved, though, so we're going to show how to set up PS4 Remote Play on Android and iOS.

Before getting started, make sure you've updated your iOS or Android device to its latest version, as well as your PS4. Have your Dualshock 4 handy, too, and make sure to pick up a phone clip if you haven't already. They're usually very inexpensive, no more than $15.

Google Stadia on iOS won’t change minds, but is necessary step for cloud gaming

google stadia review rs 2

Over a year after Google’s cloud streaming service launched, Stadia finally has iOS support. Players can now use the service on iPhone and iPad, allowing them to play games like Destiny 2 and Cyberpunk 2077 on Apple’s mobile devices.

Digital Trends went hands-on with the new update before its launch, testing the service with a phone and tablet. The experience is largely the same as what Android users have gotten to try over the past year. That means that the iOS version doesn’t fix any of the platform’s long-standing issues, but it does finally make it a more widely accessible service, which is crucial for cloud gaming’s continued growth.
Getting set up
Setting up Stadia almost feels like bootlegging it. To do so, players need to navigate to the Stadia website in Safari and pin it to their device’s home screen. That workaround is likely due to Apple’s restrictive rules around all-in-one gaming apps, which have created challenges for the industry’s tentative jump to cloud gaming.
