Can you Remap Controls in Octopath Traveler 0?

Yes, you can remap controls in Octopath Traveler 0 for controllers and keyboard and mouse. This can be done from the settings, which you can open from either the main menu or through the in-game pause menu.

On PC, Octopath Traveler 0 has support for multiple controller types and if you’re running into any input related issues, specifically with controllers you need to disable Steam Input.

  • Make sure Octopath Traveler 0 isn’t running.
  • Open Steam and navigate to your library.
  • Here, right-click on Octopath Traveler 0 and select Properties.
  • In the Controller tab, select the Disable Steam Input option under Override for Octopath Traveler 0.

While keyboard and mouse support could be better, the game is still playable on it. It is still better on the controller, though.
