Show More tablets

You’ll find gaming tablets across different operating systems, sizes, and budgets, so there’s something here for every type of gamer — from hardcore FPS fans to kids playing Minecraft.

Each tablet listed below includes ratings (1–10) based on gaming performance specifically. These scores may not reflect how the same device performs for productivity, streaming, or everyday tablet use.

Let’s break down the key specs, strengths, and trade-offs so you can pick the right fit for your gaming style. 🎮📱

📏 What’s the Best Tablet Size for Gaming?

It really comes down to how you like to play — with touch controls or a controller.

🎮 Using a Controller?

Go big.

• 11″ to 14″ tablets give you a more console-like experience
• Perfect for playing with a Bluetooth controller + tablet stand
• Great for visually rich games like RPGs or racing sims
• Just park the tablet, grab the controller, and enjoy

Pro tip: If you’re into competitive games (like shooters), a controller on a big screen is almost a must — it gives you a serious edge.

🕹️ Playing with Touch Controls?

Go smaller.

• 8″ to 10″ tablets are lighter, easier to grip, and more comfortable for long sessions
• Ideal for casual games, strategy, or mobile ports
• Your thumbs won’t have to stretch too far across the screen
• Easier to play lying down or on the go

If you’re playing on the couch, in bed, or during commutes — smaller wins for comfort.

📦 Bonus Tip: Mind the Weight

Bigger tablets are often heavier. If you’re holding it for long stretches (without a stand), that extra weight adds up — especially with touch controls.

Bottom line:

• Big screen + controller = cinematic gaming
• Smaller screen + touch = portable and easy to handle
  Choose based on your gaming style — not just screen size.

🎮 Recommended Bluetooth Controllers for Tablets

Playing games on a tablet is fun — but if you want that true console feel, a Bluetooth controller can take things to the next level. You’ll get better precision, faster reactions, and a more comfortable setup, especially for action-heavy or competitive games.

Here are some of the best Bluetooth controllers that work great with both Android and iPadOS tablets:

Most of these connect via Bluetooth in seconds, and many are also compatible with Windows, Android TV, and iOS/iPadOS. If you play shooters, racing, or platformers, a controller is seriously worth it — especially on larger tablets.

🕹️ Popular Games Played on Tablets

Tablets are a sweet spot for mobile gaming — you get the big screen, better sound, and usually stronger hardware than most phones. That means more immersive graphics, smoother controls, and longer sessions thanks to bigger batteries.

Whether you’re into casual fun or high-stakes battles, tablets are perfect for:

• Strategy games – more screen space = easier planning
• RPGs – better visuals + touch controls = smoother combat
• Shooters & action games – more responsive, less cramped than phones
• Multiplayer titles – easier to spot enemies or teammates

🎮 Most Popular Tablet Games Right Now:

• Fortnite – fast-paced, cross-platform, and gorgeous on large screens
• Genshin Impact – stunning open-world RPG that runs better on higher-end tablets
• Call of Duty: Mobile – solid FPS action with controller support
• Minecraft – build, explore, and survive with more visible blocks and easier crafting
• PUBG Mobile – battle royale with smoother aiming and better visibility
• Among Us – still fun, still sussy, and easier to play on a bigger screen
• Clash of Clans / Clash Royale – classic strategy games that shine on tablets
• Roblox – endless content, works well even on mid-range models
• Asphalt 9 – arcade racing that looks great and plays better with motion controls or touch

These games all support tablets well — and many offer controller compatibility or higher graphics settings when the hardware allows. A great tablet means smoother gameplay and more fun, no matter what you’re playing.

💰 Are budget tablets good for gaming?

They can be — it depends on what you’re playing.

• For casual games like Clash of Clans, Among Us, or Roblox, budget options like the Samsung Tab A9+ or Amazon Fire HD 10 work just fine.
• But for graphics-heavy titles, you’ll want a mid-range or premium tablet for smooth gameplay and faster load times.

TL;DR: Budget tablets = fun for basics. Premium tablets = better for AAA games.
