Controller Compatibility on PC

Residents Evil Requiem features excellent native support for Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch controllers, complete with appropriate button prompts depending on the connected device.

If players encounter issues with controller functionality, disabling Steam Input for the game can often resolve these concerns:

Ensure that Resident Evil Requiem is not currently running.
Open your Steam application and go to your library.
Right-click on Resident Evil Requiem and select Properties.
Navigate to the Controller tab and choose Disable Steam Input under the Override section for Resident Evil Requiem.

Overall, players can expect solid controller support. However, it’s worth noting that the absence of haptic feedback and adaptive trigger functionalities on the DualSense controllers is somewhat disappointing. Nonetheless, the plethora of customization settings for controls, camera sensitivity, dead zones, and aim assistance across all input types enhances gameplay enjoyment.
