🎮 Full Controller Support Is Here!

Grab your gamepad! Nexus Rumble now has full controller support. Every mode, every menu and every setting can be played without touching a keyboard.

Plug In & Play

• Xbox, PlayStation (DualShock 4 & DualSense) and Switch Pro controllers are supported
• Play on Steam Deck
• Switch between mouse & keyboard and controller at any time, even mid-match. The game follows you instantly.

Button Prompts That Match Your Controller

On-screen prompts now show the buttons you're actually holding: A / B / X / Y on Xbox, Cross / Circle / Square / Triangle on PlayStation, and the right layout on Switch controllers too.

Brand New Menu Navigation

• Move through every menu with the D-pad or stick, with an arrow showing exactly where you are
• Use LB / RB to switch between Settings tabs
• On Steam Deck and in Big Picture, typing in chat opens the on-screen keyboard

Redesigned Controls Settings

The Controls menu has been rebuilt with separate tabs for Keyboard & Mouse, Controller and Touch.

• Rebind both keyboard keys and controller buttons
• Choose Hold or Toggle for Sprint and Crouch, set separately for keyboard and controller
• Separate controller look sensitivity and Invert Y
• Reset everything back to default with one button

Feel Every Hit

• Your controller now rumbles when you get hit, knocked back or eliminated
• Mobile players get natural phone vibrations too
• Prefer it off? Turn off Vibration anytime in Settings → Controls

Mobile

Connect a Bluetooth controller or keyboard to your phone and play with it. The touch controls step aside automatically.

Thanks for playing, and see you in the arena! 💥
