FromSoftware’s Elden Ring has taken the gaming world by storm, even surpassing Dark Souls 3 in copies sold. As of March, 12 million copies have landed in the hands of gamers worldwide, ushered into a world created by the minds of Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R. R. Martin.

Being available on multiple platforms has no doubt helped the title reach those heights. It’s available on PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and Microsoft Windows.

And if you picked up a copy of Elden Ring on PC, then yes, you can use a controller. Some options are arguably better than others, but so long as you have an Xbox or PS4/PS5 controller, the game can be played with a controller on PCs.

Before you start playing using a controller, you need to first prepare Steam to accept the controller. If Elden Ring is running in the background, close it before continuing. Afterward, follow these steps:

Now launch and explore the Lands Between using a controller. It should be noted that if you’re using a DualShock or DualSense controller (PS4 and PS5, respectively), the button prompts will not change. They will be Xbox, PC, or Steam button prompts.

Also, it’s worth going into the game’s controller settings and changing keybindings. Sekiro had full customization, and FromSoftware extended the same level of customization to Elden Ring.
