I awarded the GameSir G8 Galileo five stars when I reviewed it. As mobile controllers go, it’s pretty hard to beat thanks to longer grips, back buttons, and a comfortable feel. Not only is it “built different” than smaller options like the Backbone One, but it’s cheaper -andworks for both Game Pass cloud streaming and PS5 remote play. I’d recommend this nifty gaming device at any time of the year, but when it sees a discount because of Prime Day, I’ll happily put it in the spotlight.
It’s also worth a reminder that that $18 reduction is coming from a product that’s already cheaper than its competitors. The Backbone One costs $99.99 at full price, and the Razer Kishi Ultra costs $149. If you ask me, GameSir’s option is a better product anyway, so its lower asking price is icing on the cake. I’d particularly recommend this controller to anyone shopping around forPrime Day PS5 deals, and I’ll explain why after I tell you a bit more about this deal.

Should you buy the GameSir G8 Galileo?

As mentioned, this controller will work for Xbox players, or PC players using the likes of GeForce Now, but most surprisingly, it makes thePlayStation Portalfeel completely redundant (if it didn’t already). The G8, through some wizardry I’m not sure we should alertSonyto, is capable of PlayStation 5 Remote Play. Not all mobile controllers can do that, so for your money here, you’re getting a massive utility boost.
Even outside of testing out new mobile controllers, I really enjoy taking my games on the go these days. It’s nice not needing to spend the money on one of thebest gaming handheldsbecause you have a phone that’s capable of streaming in your pocket. The G8 will slide into a bag really easily, so it’s convenient to take on the go.
