Gears Tactics is now out, its focus on turn-based tactical combat marking a departure from the series’ usual fare. While the keyboard & mouse combo is often the go-to for tactics titles, some players are wondering about whether or not Gears Tactics features controller support.
Here’s everything you need to know about Gears Tactics controller support and whether or not you can play the title without a keyboard & mouse.
Gears Tactics Controller Support
Steam lists Gear Tactics as featuring Partial Controller Support, which implies that while you’ll be able to play the game using a controller, there may be moments in the game or elements of the UI that’ll require a keyboard & mouse to interact with.
In actuality, Gears Tactics features full controller support, at least for the Xbox controller. Its options menu properly details the role of each button and also gives players the option of rebinding buttons.
While we can’t guarantee the same applies to other gamepads, if you own an Xbox controller, you should be very much able to play Gears Tactics using it. That being said, there might be a period of getting used to the different control scheme.
