You can play Bolide with any controller, even though it doesn't feature native controller support!
To play with a controller, you can use Steam Input Translation. Steam Input Translation allows you to play games with a controller, by having the controls mimic the mouse and keyboard. In Bolide, you can use this feature to play with any controller of your choice!
First, you'll need to connect a controller to your computer. Then, enable Steam Input Translation by accessing your controller settings. We've found that the "Keyboard (WASD) and Mouse" layout is the best pre-made layout that works with Bolide.
You can always change any controls to suit your desired playstyle by either editing your controller layout or editing the keybinds for an action (in Bolide's settings).
