Does Marvel Rivals have controller support?
With the game already having controller support in its early Alpha tests, it is highly unlikely this would change when the game is fully launched.
As announced in Marvel Rivals’ latest FAQ in theirofficial website, the upcoming Closed Beta will also have controller support. So, those playing on Steam are free to switch from using mouse and keyboard or controller depending on which they prefer.
The same thing doesn’t apply for console players though. It’s confirmed that the Closed Beta will only support controllers for console players, leaving the mouse and keyboard option in the dark.
Using a controller in Marvel Rivals is as easy as plugging it in. Once you plug the controller in, your game should recognize that you’ve hit a button on your controller, and a notice will appear explaining that you are switching devices.
You can swap back to mouse and keyboard at any time by using whichever device you prefer, so feel free to change back and forth as necessary.
It’s important to note that you shouldensure you have controllers enabled on Steam, and you should try using controllers that are commonly accepted like Xbox or Playstation ones.
