Last updated
Ever wondered how you can elevate your Fortnite experience on PC by using a controller? You’re in the right place!
Let’s dive into how you can connect your gaming controller to your PC for an awesome Fortnite gaming session.
Quick Steps to Connect Your Controller
First up, you’ll need a compatible controller and a PC. Most gamers use an Xbox or PlayStation controller because they’re easy to connect and widely supported.
If you’re using a USB controller, plug it directly into your PC’s USB port. For Bluetooth controllers, turn on your PC’s Bluetooth, hold the controller’s sync button, and select the controller from your PC’s Bluetooth menu. That’s it! You’re ready to play Fortnite.
Why Use a Controller for Fortnite on PC?
Using a controller can offer a different experience from the keyboard and mouse setup. Some players find aiming and movement smoother with a controller. It’s all about what feels right for you.
Plus, if you’re used to console gaming, using a controller on PC can make the transition to PC gaming easier. Remember, Fortnite supports cross-platform play, so you’re good to go against players on various devices.
