PC PC is getting controller support!

[Dude]

Good afternoon Terrarians!

With the launch of 1.3.1 just around the corner we are pleased to announce a new feature coming to Terraria on PC; Controller support!!!

Controller support will include Ps4/Xbox One presets as well as custom support!

Everyone spam your thanks to @Yoraiz0r for this painful addition to the game and @Lazure for providing the assets!
(Also thanks to all our testers behind the scene!)

Will it have 360 controller?

 

[Linkandar]

Alleluia!

 

[Mini Albert]

Only problem that I see with it is getting used to the mechanics. I mean on X360, lord help me...

 

[Artficial Relay Admin]

will it support Bluetooth wireless controls? .-.

 

[Michael J McCarty]

Any word on an estimated release date? I cannot wait for pc controller support.

I can't stand using Xbox controllers

You're in luck — the 1.3.1 update will include a special mouse-and-keyboard mode that lets you play even without a console-style controller!

Do these guys think of everything or what?

Oh boy, that's amazing! And to think, we've all only been able to play with our minds. Now we get to press stuff!

It's so cleverly disguised that most players won't even notice. Hey, even I won't!

This will be especially welcome to players like me, who sometimes play until our minds are kinda dizzy.

Ha ha I get it now

Whether you prefer the traditional mouse-and-keyboard interface (as I do) or a console-type controller (which is nice to have as an alternative) it's a grand way to relax, blow off steam, recover from a day of work. Or school, as the case may be. Must find time tonight for a couple hours of mining and building.

As somebody who suffers from RSI I greatly welcome controller support (I have an Xbox 360 controller and can't play games for long stretches with keyboard/mouse any more). Thanks a lot devs for adding support.

This is AWESOME, controller support made me really hyped for 1.3.1

What day will the update come out?

 

[zenmai]

Jungle Mimic is implemented in 3.1?

 

[AlfredoBob69]

how would i do this

 

[jakelol50]

Oh god, I was just waiting for this. Finally my controller will have an use without third-party tools!

you would still need to download the driver for the controller.

 

[Deadonarrival]

Not to derail the conversation (the controller support is awesome, BTW) but will this update include the wiring additions that were mentioned after 1.3 was released?
