Diablo 4 released earlier this year across a variety of platforms, and PC players may be wondering if the game has controller support. Here’s what we can tell you.

Controller support for PC gaming is very helpful as it allows players to enjoy video games such as Diablo on an easy-to-use controller while harnessing the power of their top PC hardware.

But you might be wondering if controller support is available in Diablo 4, so here’s everything you need to know.

Can you use controllers with Diablo 4 on PC?

We can confirm that Diablo 4 does indeed have controller support for PC. This is a given, considering the game is also available on console.

In a blog post from February 2020, Blizzard had this to say: “This is the first time a Diablo game is being developed simultaneously for both PC and consoles, but the decision to support controller input on PC is what caused the greater paradigm shift for us. We wanted to give players the ability to switch between the two options freely, so our UI needed to be unified enough that swapping hardware inputs on the fly wouldn’t throw people completely off kilter.”

So even though it caused some issues, it seems as though the devs have successfully implemented the function into the game, and PC players have the option between controller and mouse and keyboard to enjoy Diablo 4.

With all the different inputs and configurations possible, Diablo 4 players are able to see which setup suits their playstyle. Just make sure that for whichever class you choose, you choose the most efficient method to play them!
