How to play Fallout 4 with a controller on PC
Playing Fallout 4 with a controller on PC is super easy! First, make sure your controller is connected to your PC - either through a USB cable or via Bluetooth if it's wireless. Then, just launch Fallout 4. The game should automatically detect the controller and switch to controller mode. You might want to dive into the game's settings to adjust button mappings if needed, but usually, it's ready to go right out of the box.

Honestly, just plug it in and play. Fallout 4 on PC supports controllers natively, so it's pretty much a plug-and-play situation. If you're using an Xbox controller, it's even smoother since Windows and Xbox are best buds.
If you're not feeling the love with the automatic setup, you might need to tinker with Steam's Big Picture mode. Go into Steam > Settings > Controller settings and make sure your controller type is enabled. Then, launch Fallout 4 through Big Picture mode, and it should work like a charm. This way also lets you customize your controller settings a lot more!
