MOBA-Battle Royale hybrid Supervive might not be available on consoles (yet), but you can use a controller on your PC to outlast your enemies.
The revamped 1.0 version has plenty of changes, with most of them being positive for the game. As of writing, there’s no official support for the use of controllers (yes, even if you use a device that’s compatible with your PC setup). Thankfully, you can take advantage of the experimental support from the in-game client to use a controller (with a few tweaks, of course).
Supervive controller support explained
The lack of official controller support isn’t without its vices. The experimental support works well, but there are performance issues. I tested this with my Power-A Xbox controller and my DualSense Edge. Both seem to work seamlessly, barring a few situations.
- There’s no way to use the controller to select your drop location on the map.
- The shop interactions are extremely glitchy and don’t work as intended.
- Interactions with HUD elements are a problem.
The experimental mode does allow you to move, use the abilities, and aim pretty smoothly. That said, I will still prefer using my keyboard and mouse. If you still want to use a controller, there’s another workaround.
How to use a controller to play Supervive?
Steam’s Big Picture mode is a nice workaround if you want to use a controller. Once you have opened the mode, launch Supervive from your library.
- You’ll find a controller icon on the right (next to the Play button).
- Click on it to open the Steam Input page.
- Set the layout relevant to your controller. You can customize the layout according to your preferences.
- Click on Play, and your controller should be fully functional with the game.
