Does Delta Force have controller support?

Learn whether you can play the game with a controller or not.

Delta Force is a free-to-play shooter, and players are enjoying its take on the genre—but the current state of control options may not be for everyone.

Delta Force offers team-based tactical shooter warfare across multiple modes, such as an extraction mode and a mode similar to Battlefield with huge maps and player count. Like Gray Zone Warfare, Delta Force demands your full attention for its authentic approach to intense firefights.

Here’s everything you need to know about controller support in Delta Force.

Can you use a controller in Delta Force?

Delta Force doesn’t have official controller support just yet, and the only way to enjoy the FPS title is through a conventional mouse and keyboard. Due to the game’s focus on tactical gameplay, you can expect to see quite a few controls that take multiple keybinds, from movement options to gun settings and gadgets.

In the controller versus mouse and keyboard debate, it doesn’t matter which side you align with—having both choices is better for the community. More accessibility options widen the player pool, as certain players may not want to be forced into using a mouse and keyboard, and controllers are often better options for some people with disabilities.

Nevertheless, Delta Force is currently in the open beta phase and the main priority for the developer is to test it. It lets all players get hands-on and allows the developer to monitor its performance, ironing out major bugs leading into the full release on PC, console, and even mobile.

Will Delta Force get controller support in the future?

There’s no official confirmation about controller support coming to PC for now. However, the game will soon come out on consoles, including PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, which naturally includes playing with a controller. So we might see controller support added to the PC version closer to the console release.

We’ll update the guide once more information becomes available. In the meantime, get to know Delta Force and what it has to offer, or jump in yourself, as the game is out and free-to-play on PC across Steam, EGS, and its own launcher.
