How to Play Fortnite on Your PC with a Controller
Last updated
Ever wondered how you can play Fortnite on your PC using a controller instead of a keyboard and mouse? You’re in the right spot. Here we’re going to dive into exactly how you can do that!
So, how exactly do you play Fortnite on a PC with a controller? Let’s get into it.
It’s Easier Than You Think
Playing Fortnite on a PC with a controller is quite simple. First, you’ll need a compatible controller. Most modern controllers, like the Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 controllers, work seamlessly with PCs.
Once you have your controller, connect it to your PC. You can do this via a USB cable or through Bluetooth, depending on what your controller supports. Windows should recognize your controller automatically. If not, you might need to download drivers from the controller manufacturer’s website. After connecting, launch Fortnite, and the game should detect your controller, letting you play with it right away!
