How to Fix the Cat Quest III Controller Issues on PC

Cat Quest III finally takes our feline warrior to the sea, and it’s another charming adventure from The Gentlebros.

• In the Controller tab, select the Disable Steam Input option under Override for Cat Quest III

This is all you need to do, and after this, your controller should work normally. Cat Quest III has proper button prompts for PlayStation and Xbox controllers, but you’ll need to disable Steam Input for those to show properly.
