To play Red Dead Redemption on iOS or Android devices with a Netflix subscription, a compatible device is needed. Android devices require Android 11 or higher, 6GB of RAM, and specific processors, while Apple devices need to be iPhone 11 or better. The game can be downloaded through the App Store or Google Play Store, selecting the Netflix version and signing in with a Netflix account. Red Dead Redemption can also be downloaded through the Games section on the Netflix app.
Google is preparing system-level powers for game controllers in Android, including a deep controller remapping engine and a "virtual gamepad" that converts controller presses into touch actions. The company is also experimenting with controller profiles that can be saved and tied to specific devices. The feature set currently exists only in Android Canary and its future availability is uncertain.
- Android 17 will introduce a game controller remapping feature
- The feature will allow users to customize inputs for buttons and directional sticks on compatible gamepads
- The remapping feature will change which key code or axis value is sent to Android games when a button is pressed
- Google has time to enhance the feature before the Android 17 update next year
Android is working on a new feature for Android 17 that will allow users to remap controllers at the system level, providing a native controller area in Settings. This feature will also include a "virtual gamepad" that can map physical buttons to touch regions in games that do not have native controller support. This new feature aims to provide consistency for clip-on controllers, Android handhelds, cloud gaming players, Android TV boxes, laptops, and improve accessibility for players who rely on remapping buttons for gameplay.
Android treats USB or Bluetooth gaming controllers as input devices, translating button presses into key codes and axis values for in-game actions. Android relies on predefined configuration files for popular controllers, but many niche peripherals are also compatible. Android does not support button remapping out of the box, but evidence suggests that a future version of Android, possibly Android 17, will bring native controller remapping. This feature will be restricted to apps signed with the platform key. Additionally, a new game controller menu within the Settings app and a virtual gamepad feature have been discovered, which could allow for button remapping and mapping on-screen touch controls to physical controller inputs.
Users have reported that the Guide button on Xbox controllers connected to Windows 11 PCs now launches the Task View screen instead of turning off the controller. Microsoft has redefined the Xbox button's functionality: a short press opens the Game Bar, a long press activates the Task View, and pressing and holding the button still turns off the controller. The upcoming ROG Xbox Ally will also feature an Xbox button that opens a handheld-friendly task switcher with a long press. This update is currently being tested among Windows Insider members to address any issues before a broader rollout.
