Can you Remap Controls in The First Descenant?
Yes, you can remap controls in The First Descenant! Whether you’re playing on a keyboard and mouse or a controller, you can change the inputs to your liking.
Overall, the seamless controller support as well as the ability to rebind actions is a welcome feature. However, we would appreciate it if PC-specific settings like the ability to disable or adjust mouse acceleration are added in a future patch.
If you’re playing the PC version, and are running into the DirectX 12 error, we have you covered. Additionally, if you can’t seem to get your controllers to work properly, you need to make a small change in Steam. For more on The First Descendant, make sure to check out our dedicated section.
