The layout and gameplay experience of Roblox Mobile is pretty much similar to its PC version. However, the controls are hectic, with the fingers and thumbs hovering over the display/touch screen. Therefore, you can pair the DualShock 4 with your mobile for a better gaming experience.
Connecting DualShock 4 Controller with Smartphone
- Press and hold the ‘PS’ button and the ‘Share’ button on your DualShock controller simultaneously.
- Wait until the controller flashes white light to indicate it’s ready to pair.
- Enable the ‘Bluetooth’ on your smartphone and wait until the phone detects the controller.
- Tap to select the DualShock Controller from the available Bluetooth device list, and that’s about it.
Roblox will automatically detect the controller and set the button mapping accordingly. The DualShock controller’s control setup will be the same as the Xbox One controller. A, B, X, and Y denote the Square, Rectangle, Circle, and Triangle on the DualShock, while the joysticks work as the movement controls like D-pad on the Xbox controller.
Final Words
The default controls of Roblox games are easier to adapt once you get the hang of things. However, it can be challenging for beginners to figure out the controller setup, not their own. We hope our guidelines were helpful enough to assist you in understanding the Roblox control setup.
