Baldur's Gate 3 controller support explained

Does Baldur's Gate 3 have controller support? The Larian DnD game is here, and it's the perfect game for getting comfy with a controller while your character does all the hard work adventuring and battling foes.

Alongside new BG3 classes and races, one of the changes we've been keeping our fingers crossed for as Baldur's Gate 3 rolls out is the addition of controller support - especially given what we know about BG3 Steam Deck compatibility.

How to find Withers in Baldur's Gate 3

Where is Withers in Baldur's Gate 3? This skeletal corpse appears early on as part of the Explore The Ruins quest in Act 1 Chapter One of your adventure, though finding him requires a descent into a trap-infested crypt and more than a dash of perception. Thankfully, we're here to help you avoid all the dangers and reach his location in one piece.


While Withers cannot be recruited as a Baldur's Gate 3 companion in his own right, he quickly becomes a firm fixture in your Baldur's Gate 3 camp. Before you make the trek to Withers, we recommend ensuring that everyone in your party has gained a few levels so they're strong enough to face the dangers of the crypt and survive. It would also be beneficial to bring along a Baldur's Gate 3 class skilled in lockpicking - ideally a Rogue, such as Astarion - for an easier time. Here's how to find Withers in Baldur's Gate 3.
