'SteelSeries,' the premier manufacturer of consumer technologies, has launched the 'SteelSeries Stratus+' controller for mobile devices. The Stratus+ is a console-grade controller that features the same button count as an 'Xbox' or 'PlayStation' controller. The Stratus+ boasts a 90-hour battery life and a 'Slim-Profile Phone Mount' that holds the phone in place conveniently above the controller.
The Stratus+ can be connected to any Bluetooth-supported mobile device and can be used in any game played on mobile that supports controller inputs, such as 'Fortnite' or 'Call of Duty.' The Stratus+ can also connect to 'Google Chromebook' devices to elevate the quality of gaming on these hybrid computers. Additionally, the Stratus+ is a recommended controller for NVIDIA's 'GeForce NOW' streaming service that allows mobile gamers to play high-end PC games on the go.
