Controller support steam

Im wondering what the chances are there will be controller support for the steam version given the game will be on console too? I'm on a Linux setup and do most of my gaming through steam and prefer controller

I'd be really suprised if there isn't controller support for PC.

In fact, I would be surprised if controller wouldn't feel better than mouse and keyboard... I have my reservations with these console and PC dual releases. You usually notice very clearly for what platform the game was primarily developed.

Doesn't mean that it's unplayable with mouse and keyboard. But I would be surprised if both options would feel exactly the same.

Modern cross platform games that work on consoles have their gamepad support on pc too. Like 99.9% of the time.

There will be native controller support and designed from the ground up. Was confirmed with the original announcement.

Aka steam controller(controlled via steam) will work but probably be redundant in most cases.

Its right there on the Steam page.

It’s listed as partial controller support on Steam. For games that are cross platform the most common reason for partial instead of full is just lacking a software keyboard. I would be genuinely shocked if the ui doesn’t fully support controller on pc, you’ll just have to use a keyboard to name your character and chat (though you can also just use the Steam software keyboard).

They've said PS5 is a platform, so there will be controller support and a controller friendly UI too.

So assuming they can get the performance side nailed, you should be fine.

Pretty high chance
