Last updated
Ever wondered how you can upgrade your Fortnite gaming experience on PC by using a controller? You’re in the right place! Let’s dive straight into how you can connect a controller to Fortnite on your PC.
Connecting a controller to play Fortnite on PC might seem tricky, but fear not! We’ll break it down step by step.
Quick and Easy Steps to Connect Your Controller
First things first, you need a compatible controller. This could be an Xbox, PlayStation, or any other PC-compatible controller. Make sure it’s handy!
Next, if you’re using a wired controller, simply plug it into your PC’s USB port. If it’s wireless, you’ll need to connect it via Bluetooth. To do this, turn on your controller’s Bluetooth pairing mode, then go to your PC’s Bluetooth settings and select the controller from the list of available devices. Voila! Your controller should now be connected.
Getting Your Controller Work with Fortnite
Now that your controller is hooked up, open Fortnite. The game should automatically recognize your controller. You’ll know it’s working when you see the controller prompts on the screen instead of the usual keyboard and mouse ones.
If for some reason Fortnite doesn’t detect your controller, head into the game settings. Look for the ‘Input’ option and make sure your controller is selected as the input device. This should fix any recognition issues and get you ready to jump into action!
