Hello everyone! We have a new demo and playtest update! We have been hard at work for the past month focusing on our controller support to make it the best it can be. There will still be more controller fixes coming in the upcoming months but this is a HUGE addition we have with the latest update. So press that update button on Steam and enjoy surviving with your favourite controller!
Here are the complete patch notes which include improvements to other areas of the game as well.
