Enjoy video games on your Galaxy phone

While playing a video game on your phone, swipe up from the bottom of the screen (or the right side if you are in landscape mode), and then tap the Game Booster icon on the lower left-hand side of the screen.

If it’s your first time using Game Booster, tap Start. Then select and use your desired settings:

• The Pop-up panel: Get fast access to outside apps. Change the four apps in the panel by tapping the More Options icon (the three vertical dots). Tap the Remove icon by the app, and then select apps you want on the panel.

• Settings: Tap the Settings icon to see more settings. Change the shortcut icon at the bottom right corner by tapping Shortcuts, and then choosing your desired shortcut. From this menu, you can also change the screen resolution or get help.

• Block during game: Adjust what kind of alerts or features you want to block during gameplay, so you’ll never get distracted.

• Advanced game tools: Get the most out of your gaming experience by locking the navigation keys or taking a screenshot.

Here's how to connect some of the most common controllers:

• Xbox One controller: Turn on your Xbox Bluetooth controller. Press and hold the Bind button (located on the top of the controller) for 3 seconds and then release it. The controller should appear on your phone's Bluetooth settings page. If it doesn't, tap Scan. When it appears, select Xbox Wireless Controller from the list of available devices.
  

• PS4 controller: Make sure your PS4 controller has adequate battery power. To place the controller in Pairing Mode, press and hold the Share button and the PS button simultaneously for a couple seconds. When the controller starts to flash, release the buttons. The controller should appear on your phone's Bluetooth settings page. If it doesn't, tap Scan. When it appears, select Wireless Controller from the list of available devices. The PS4 controller will flash as it pairs to your phone.

• Other Bluetooth controllers: There are many other Bluetooth controllers on the market that can pair with Galaxy phones. However, the steps for each controller will vary. Check your controller's user manual for instructions on pairing it to your phone.

Simply connect a DeX cable, a USB-C to HDMI adapter, or a multi-port adapter to both the phone and monitor. These adapters let you screen mirror your phone to the monitor's screen. Just open up a gaming app, like Fortnite, to see it displayed on the monitor.
