Remote Controller

Remote Controller lets one phone act as a controller for a game running on another device.

When to Use Remote Controller

Use Remote Controller when:

  • A game is running on a bigger screen.
  • You want your phone to be controller-only.
  • Another person wants to control the game without joining netplay.
  • Touch controls on the main device block too much of the screen.

Use Netplay instead when each player should run the game on their own device.

Start a Remote Controller Session

  1. Start the game on the main device.
  2. Open the in-game menu.
  3. Tap Remote Control.
  4. Start the remote control session.
  5. Keep the drawer open long enough for the second phone to join.

Join with a QR Code

  2. Scan the QR code shown by Rebit.
  3. Open the link.
  4. Wait for the controller screen to connect.
  5. Use the on-screen controls on the controller phone.

Join with a Room Code

If scanning does not work:

  1. Open Rebit on the controller phone.
  2. Go to the remote join screen if the link or page is shown by the app.
  3. Enter the room code from the main device.
  4. Tap Join.

Use the Controller Phone

  • Hold the controller phone like a handheld controller.
  • Keep the main device awake and on the game screen.
  • Keep both devices on a stable network.
  • If buttons feel delayed, move both devices closer to Wi-Fi.

Stop Remote Control

  1. On the main device, open the in-game menu.
  2. Open Remote Control.
  3. Stop or leave the session.
  4. Close the controller page on the second phone.

Remote Controller Troubleshooting

  • Make sure the main device is still running the game.
  • Refresh the controller phone if it stays disconnected.
  • Scan the QR code again or re-enter the room code.
  • Keep both devices on the same Wi-Fi when possible.
  • Turn off VPN or private relay features if the devices cannot see each other.
  • Use Show Controls on the main device if you need touch controls again.
