Gamepad Support Coming - Steel Swarm: APOCALYPSE

May 7, 2025

In Steel Swarm: APOCALYPSE, the war is no longer limited to just mouse and keyboard! Very soon, Xbox, PlayStation, and other gamepad support 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.

🕹️ More Control, More Fun

With the new gamepad support:

• Xbox, PS, and other controllers will be plug & play compatible.
• Menus and UI will be optimized for controller navigation.
• And 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.
