I think it’s safe to say that the gaming industry has moved on to become one of the biggest leaders in༺ the field of entertainment. Between A-List actors joining video games to len💞d their voices and sometimes their image to the game characters, larger than life video game worlds that are open to explore, and state of the art graphics that make these games look more realistic with each and every new technological development, it’s no wonder why gaming has become a big part of our civilization.

One of the things that comes with that level of success is increased prices, more equipment needed to play these games and more time spent in these gaming worlds overall. With all of these factors playing against gamers, sometimes ไpeople just need to find shortcuts or easier ways of going about things. Whether that involves renting games rather than buying them outright, or finding ways to organize your various gaming equipment and storage within the gaming console you ܫown, or even finding ways to save money by using one piece of equipment for multiple purposes, gamers around the world are constantly looking for the latest hacks to help them get an edge in their everyday gaming lives.

That’s why today🌠 we are going to take a hard look at 30 DIY Gaming Hacks that will improve any gamer’s life. From simple money saving solutions to gameplay hacks and more, these options are going to make gaming life so much simpler and give gamers more time to enjoy the game🌞s themselves.

30 👍 Unusual Cord Storage 𝓰

If you are a hard core gamer with either multiple co🔯nsoles or devices, you know how difficult it can be to keep track of all the cords these devices come with. Keeping them organized is key to a relatively organized gaming experience. Some gamers have found that by using the paper෴ rolls that paper towels or toilet paper come with, they can store their cords into these rolls. As strange as it is, it helps keep these cords organized and untangled from one another.

29 🐼 Racing Wheel Hack

For hardcore racing game fans♔, buying a separate add-on device that mimics a car wheel can be quite the expensive purchase. If you simply can’t afford it or are trying to save a bit of cash, there is a way to play these racing games using only your mou🅰se and a stool.

Adjust 💖the sensitivity on your game, put your gaming mouse onto the stool, and watch as every turn of the stoo🔯l begins to control your car in the game.

28 Char𝓡ging PS4 Controller With Android Charger

Yes, you read that right. Android users can charge their PS🍃4 controllers using the same cord as their phone charger. So many times gamers will lose this important cord that keeps your PS4 charged and usable.

Yet if you own an Android smartphone device, you can just plug the USB into the PS4 and charge your controller or even your phone that way. It’s a pr﷽etty nifty little hack, and comes in handy in a pinch when you need more juice for that controller.

27 🗹 Headsets On The Bananaಌ Stand

No, that’s not an Arrested Development joke. We mean it literally. Most gamers usually just toss their gaming headsets on the coffee table or couch when they are finished playing their game. This can put a lot of weಞar and tear on the headset as time goes on. If you want to keep your headset functioning and in good condition, buy a banana stand with a hook and ෴hang the headset from there. It’ll look clean and organized, and keep the headset functioning properly.

26 🐎 Faster Load Time On♒ Nintendo Switch

While not all gamers experience this, some Nintendo Switch gamers have noticed some core games load a bit slower on the console. When searching for a way to improve ℱthis, one gamer discovered that by storing the game onto the console’s internal memory base rather than an SD card or standard Game Card, the game loaded about 5 seconds faster than the other gaming options. Just a tip in case you are in a hurry to play your Nintendo Switch.

25 Zip Tie Cords 🌱

If you are looking for a less strange way of keeping your cords organized, then I have the solution for you. Invest in some zip ties. Using the zip ties, keep your cords not only organized, but untangled from one another. You’ll have to be prepared to cut off the zip tie when using the cord and then secure it with a new one 𝓡once finished, but this is well worth 🎐the effort as it will keep all your cords organized.

24 Free Digital Games 🧸 🎶

One thing that gamers, (especially households with multiple gamers), will benefit from is the ability to get free digital games. In order to accomplish this, you will need to have at least 2 of the same console, like an Xbox One. If one gamer purchases a game, let’s say Destiny 2, and then another gamer in that same household wants to play the game as well or play Co-Op, then the first gamer can sign-in to the other gamer’s console, and via the cloud based purchase system, download the g💝ame onto that console, allowing both gamers to play together at the same time. It’s not a bad idea, considering how expensive these games can get.

23 🃏 Install More Games Onto NES Classic ▨

One of the more popular gaming devices released in recent years by Nintendo has to be the NES Classic. This game console was a miniature vers🌳ion of the NES that came with 30 built in games.

However, there was no option to download or add additional games to the NES Classic. That said, gamers discovered a way to bring more of the NES Classic games to that console (and to the SNES Classic.) You can read the step-by-step guide on this ꦚhack .

22 ꦫ Play Nintendo On PSP

Yes, this might seem a bit strange, but it’s actually a big reason the PSP never took off the way Sony ho🦩ped. You see, as great as a handheld PlayStation console was, the system itself was really easy for 🦹hackers to get into, allowing piracy to run rampant.

On🦩e gamer actually discovered a way to download Nintendo and SEGA games onto the device usin𒁏g a simple drag and drop folder option. You can read a step-by-step guide on this .

21 🦂 Save PS4 Controller’s Battery Life

Another great hack for PlayStation gamers comes in the form of the console’s controllers. No gamer wants to be tied down by that very short cord the controller comes with. Yet the lights on the controller drain ⛄the controller’s battery life very quickly. So what’s a gamer to do? Your controller can have the light dimmed in the controller settings. W✤hile you can’t turn them off completely, by dimming the light and perhaps turning off secondary audio altogether, you can save the batter of your controller.
