Controls: The Final Frontier

Controller on Mobile

Controlling your starship in Honkai: Star Rail depends on the platform you choose. Mobile gamers can enjoy the touch-based controls, whereas PC players have the option to glide through space with the grace of a keyboard and mouse. But fear not, my fellow space explorers, for the game also supports gamepad connectivity on both mobile and PC. So, if you fancy the feel of a controller in your hands, you can blast off with one attached to your device.

How to Connect a Controller

If you want to take your gaming experience to a whole new galaxy by connecting a controller, let me show you the way:

PC Players, Rejoice!

Honkai: Star Rail welcomes a variety of controllers for PC players. To join the cosmic battle:

  • Xbox 360
  • Xbox Series X|S
  • PS4 DualShock
  • PS4 DualSense

Simply plug in your preferred controller into a USB port or connect it via Bluetooth, and voila! The game will automatically detect it, thrusting you into the endless universe of controller-powered gaming.

Mobile Marvels, Sync Your Controller

For those tactile enthusiasts who prefer a gamepad for mobile gaming, follow these simple steps:

  1. Open the game’s Settings.
  2. Navigate to “Other Settings”.
  3. Select “Controller Mode” from the “Switch Control Mode” option.
  4. It’s important to note that the game will restart after enabling this feature, so be sure to connect your controllers before launching the gameplay.

While iOS users can rejoice with PS4 and PS5 controllers, Android devices have their own cosmic restrictions, only supporting compatibility with 8bitdo and Xbox controllers. So choose wisely, fellow space cadets!
