🎮 Gamepad Support is Coming to Steel Swarm: APOCALYPSE!

In Steel Swarm: APOCALYPSE, the war is no longer limited to just mouse and keyboard! Very soon, gamepad support for Xbox, PlayStation, and other controllers will be available on Windows systems.
Whether you're ambushing in the city or dodging under Mantis’ feet — now you can do it all while chilling on your couch, gamepad in hand.

    With the new gamepad support:

    • Xbox, PS, and other controllers will be plug & play compatible.
    • Menus and UI will be optimized for controller navigation.
    • To match the console-style gameplay, aim assist and streamlined driving features will also be enabled.


    This means a smoother and more competitive experience, especially for players who prefer to play with a controller.
