PC Controller Support

Age of Empires IV IV - Discussion

Hello!

I don’t know where else I could submit feedback/request to the devs so apologizes if this isn’t the place.

Since the cross play update has gone live and the console versions are able to go between keyboard/mouse and gamepad. Are there any plans to integrate gamepad support on the PC versions? From an accessibility stand point I think it would be a great addition.

Bump.

Any updates on this? You could increase your player base that use laptops and travel a lot. Great game but I don’t see why you wouldn’t include it especially when you match ranked games against players that are playing with controller.

Thanks,

Bump. Please add controller support. There’s no reason that the console version can be played with KB&M but the PC version does not get controller support. Please don’t gatekeep features from us. I have left a negative Steam review that I will change when PC Controller support is added.

Adding controller support to the PC version would be huge for me. You could disable matchmaking with that input for multiplayer (or provide it as an optional toggle).

The new Age of Mythology: Retold provides PC Controller support at lunch. Why can’t we still have it for AoE 4 if it exists on Xbox?

I have health Issues and can play on PC no more but like strategie games

Big +1 from me, please. I’ve created some custom controller binds using Steam Layout, but having what the Xbox version has on PC would be so much better!

Please give us controller support on this and AOE2! I would love to play them both on the Xbox Ally series handhelds!

Thanks for pushing suggestion for contoller support on PC version to the dev team. Would it be possible to bring it up again? Age of Mythology:Retold have controller support so it would be nice to expand it to AoE2 and AoE4.

I started to play AoE 4 on Xbox Ally X but because current version of PC build doesn’t support controller input I am forced to play Xbox Cloud version and it is awesome to play AoE on handheld in PvE mode like that, but you are limited by internet speed and it would be much better to have a native app on handheld.
