Can you play BattleBit Remastered on controller?

BattleBit Remastered allows you to take part in chaotic 254-player fights on numerous maps. The game is a PC exclusive, and while players on the platform are most likely used to enjoying FPS titles with a mouse and a keyboard, some of them have been wondering if you can play it on a controller.

Each FPS game has its own unique gameplay, and each player has their own preference. Therefore, some may prefer using an Xbox or PlayStation controller, while others are masters in taking down opponents with a mouse. And in BattleBit Remastered, there is a whole bunch of them to eliminate.

The game is similar to Battlefield, mostly due to the usage of vehicles and tools, enormous maps, and server capacity as high as 254 players. And while it looks similar to Roblox due to its square-like graphics, many players admit it’s a hell of a ride and explicitly fun.

Still, we’re sure some users would enjoy BattleBit Remastered more if they could use controllers. Unfortunately, if you’re one of them, you’ll have to follow some steps to do so.

Is there an option to play BattleBit Remastered on a controller?

At the time of publishing, there’s no official way to play BattleBit Remastered on a controller. The game is still in early access and as of now, it doesn’t have official support for them. There is, however, a way to tweak your Steam settings so you can play with a controller.
