If you're planning a holiday trip, why not transform your smartphone into a portable gaming console with a controller case? The PowerA MOGA XP7-X Plus, an officially licensed Xbox product, is currently available for just $50 at Amazon (usually $100) before Black Friday. This controller case comes equipped with all the standard inputs you'd find on a regular controller or handheld device, including two thumbsticks, face buttons, triggers, and a D-pad. It supports both Android and iPhones up to 7.13 inches in handheld mode and connects via Bluetooth. The controller features a built-in 2000mAh power bank and charging pad, allowing you to charge your phone while gaming. Ideal for playing games through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or other cloud streaming apps, as well as native Android/iOS games that support controllers, the XP7-X Plus can also be collapsed and used separately with your phone, Xbox, or Windows device.
For those preferring a more conventional form factor, PowerA's MOGA XP5-A Plus is also on sale for $36 (originally $70). This Bluetooth controller is compatible with smartphones, Xbox, and PC, connecting to your iPhone or Android device using the included clip accessory. Additionally, the PowerA XP-ULTRA is discounted to $60 (usually $100), offering multiple configuration options for your smartphone, PC, or Xbox console.
If cloud streaming Game Pass games is your priority this holiday season, Amazon has a bundle deal that includes an Xbox Wireless controller, Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max, and a one-month subscription to Game Pass Ultimate for $80 (usually $147). A more affordable bundle with a standard Fire TV Stick 4K is also available for $75 (usually $137).
While PowerA's controllers can turn your smartphone into a portable cloud gaming device, dedicated gaming handhelds like the Asus ROG Ally, one of the best Windows-based gaming handhelds, offer more reliable performance as they run games directly on the device's hardware. The ROG Ally is currently on sale at Target and Best Buy ahead of Black Friday.
