Braving the wilds of Once Human is quite an ordeal, and while the game has a great keyboard layout, some might be more comfortable using a controller. With all the menus and functions this game has, certain inputs can be overwhelming for some, especially those not used to playing with a keyboard and mouse. Add to that PvP elements with players looking to loot your hard-earned materials and weapons, and well, having controller support in Once Human could make things much easier for everyone.
Can You Play Once Human With a Controller? Answered
Sadly, there isn’t controller support for Once Human as of the Closed Beta 3. However, this doesn’t mean it won’t come. If you look at the settings, there’s an option for controllers, and theoretically, it should allow you to plug in your favorite one to play. Still, it seems it isn’t working during the latest beta period, so you’ll have to stick with playing with your keyboard and mouse.
On the other hand, a few players have found unofficial ways to make a controller work, but since it isn’t verified by the developers, we advise against it. According to a recent thread in the game’s official subreddit, you can add a controller by using the “Controller Companion” app. We haven’t tried it, but if you want to give it a shot, remember that it might not work as intended.
Overall, the game’s layout is pretty good when playing on a keyboard. All menus are easy to access, and you can configure your keybinds if you’re not a fan of the original ones. Hopefully, the developers will add controller support to Once Human as the testing period progresses. There are many Meta-Humans jumping into this chaotic world, and having their preferred way of playing implemented could make a big difference. In the meantime, familiarize yourself with the buttons and prepare to survive these treacherous lands.
