The Google TV Streamer does not support all three modes of the 8bitdo SN30 Pro Plus controller, with only D-input mode working reliably for both Android TV and Google TV. Playing native Android games on the device is possible but may have latency and performance issues. Emulated console games are difficult to play due to the lack of expandable storage and a native file explorer. Streaming games from a PC using Moonlight provides the best gaming experience on the Google TV Streamer. Overall, the Google TV Streamer is not recommended as a gaming machine, and using a phone or investing in a more powerful streaming device like the NVIDIA Shield TV Pro is suggested for better gaming performance.
