Does New World Have Controller Support in 2023?
The short answer is no. New World does not have official controller support as of now. This means that the game does not recognize or optimize the input from a controller device such as an Xbox One, PlayStation 4, or Nintendo Switch controller.
However, this does not mean that you cannot use a controller to play New World at all. There are some ways to work around this limitation, and one of them is to remap the keys in the options menu of the game.
You can assign different actions to different buttons on your controller, such as movement, combat, inventory, chat, etc. This way, you can customize your controller layout to suit your preferences and play style.
Another way to use a controller to play New World is through Steam Input in order to emulate keyboard and mouse input from a controller. You can create and configure your own controller profile for the game, or you can go to "Browse Configs" in order to import settings from other players or the recommended ones. You can then modify them if you want to make them suit you in a better way.
However, while there are some unofficial ways to use a controller to play New World in 2023, many players are still hoping for official controller support from Amazon Games.
When Is Controller Support Officially Coming To New World?
Note: We have reached out to Amazon Games for a statement regarding Controller Support in New World and will update this page as soon as we hear from them.
Unfortunately, there is no clear answer or timeline for when this might happen. The developers have not confirmed whether they will be adding controller support to the game or not. However, this doesn't mean that they aren't aware of the demand and interest for controller support among the player base, so we still might get it in the future.
Therefore, while there is no official announcement or date for when controller support will be added to New World in 2023, there is some hope that it might happen in the future. Until then, players who want to use a controller to play New World will have to rely on unofficial methods or wait patiently for official support.
