V Rising has skyrocketed to the top of the Steam charts. It's currently among the best-selling games on the marketplace just a week after its initial early access release for PC players. As the game is only playable on PC at the moment, many keyboard and mouse enthusiasts are perfectly content with the game's controls. However, there are some controller aficionados that are wondering if V Rising has any kind of controller support. When you open the game's settings, it appears that only keyboard and mouse controls are available. Although there are some ways around this, the developers recently advised against this and that controller players shouldn't hold their breath for future support.

Using a controller in V Rising

At the time of writing, V Rising has no controller support. Even if players plug in their controller through a USB cable in their PC, the game will not recognize it as a viable input option. While players can technically control their character with the controller in-game, the controls are not user-friendly whatsoever. Since there are so many different controls in V Rising, some of which use the same inputs, controllers simply aren't advisable to use.

Despite many players asking for the developers at Stunlock Studios to add some kind of support for a gamepad, it doesn't appear support is arriving anytime in the near future. The official V Rising Twitter account recently responded to a fan request, saying that players shouldn't expect controller support anytime soon.
