Unfortunately, at the time of writing, there is no dedicated Controller Support in the early access of BG3. However, with its full release players can hope and expect one added in by the devs. Keeping in mind the numerous control options, the devs recommend players enjoy the game at its fullest with Keyboard and Mouse while they perfect all the controller inputs for their release. With that being said, players can still play Baldur’s Gate 3 on a controller with the help of Steam Controller Support. Here are the steps you can follow to do so:

  • Launch Steam in Big Picture mode.
  • Head over to settings on the top right.
  • Open up the Controller tab.
  • Select the controller under the Detected Controller and register it.
  • Set your preferences and click on submit.
  • This will help you use Steam Support to enjoy Baldur’s Gate 3 with your Controller.

Players who have purchased the game on GOG can simply add BG3 to their Steam Library using Add a Non-Steam game option. Another best option for players will be to play the game on Steam Deck. Players can come across some bugs while playing the game on a controller without dedicated support. We recommend you keep a tab on all the latest updates for Baldur’s Gate 3 and also on its upcoming PlayStation release.
