If you prefer to use a controller with your third-person games, then support is essential. Here are the best settings for your controller when playing The First Descendant.

Does The First Descendant have controller support?

Yes, The First Descendant does have controller support. However, it is still pretty nasty and will take some tweaking to feel comfortable. To play with a controller on a PC, simply plug in or connect your chosen handheld device in whichever way you usually would.

Personally, I use a third-party controller rather than an Xbox or PlayStation one. This means I also have to useXOutputto map and tweak my settings. If you’re using a PlayStation or Xbox controller, you will have native support through Steam, so you don’t need to worry about setting up your controller to play The First Descendant.
