Gang Beasts controls list: PC, PlayStation, Xbox, more

Nick Farrell

One of the wackiest party games available for players to check out has been Gang Beasts, and the popular game has some odd controls that you’ll want to get to grips with before diving in! 

While most of us are fixed on some of the big releases coming out in 2021, with titles such as Pokemon and Forza Horizon 5, it’s always good to sit back and chill out with some classic party games, and Gang Beasts certainly fits that criteria.

The game’s format is essentially a battle royale, with you and up to seven other players punching, kicking, grabbing, and throwing each other until there’s only one player left standing.

With some hysterical moments bound to happen, you’re going to want to get up to speed with all the controls within the game, and we’ve got you covered.
