    Watch Dogs Controller Support For Pc?

    hello

    I was wondering if the pc version supports the xbox 360 controller?
    I'm about to pre-purchase the game but this tought is keeping me from doing so.

    i cant give you 100% guaranteed answer, but 99% the game will support it as all Ubisoft titles support xbox controller and many PC gamers play with controllers.

    ill PM Mr_Shade (Forum Manager) to have a look at this thread and get you a definitive answer.

    If your going to get a xbox controller get the xbox one controller as that has pc support built into windows. just make sure its a wired controller.

    99.99999% of console ports support the 360 controller. It's obvious Watch Dogs does.

    Wrong. No official drivers for the XBO controller yet.

    Unofficial drivers do the trick (LucasAssis) but the Xbox One controller is not natively compatible on PC yet.
    Official support coming in 2014.

    .
    Correction - 99% of Ubisofts PC titles support the official Xbox 360 (for windows or console) controller.


    Wired has the best support - due to drivers and you can simply plug it in.


    Let's try and drop the hate for the game before it's even released please..

    That is true for every other publishers as well.
    Games not supporting the 360 controller is the exception, not the norm and that's good, more options the better.

    Fair enough, but I will enjoy being proven right.

    Hello all,
    The wired xbox 360 controller(Microsoft brand) is supported with Watch Dogs. Please check the system requirements for more other supported devices : https://support.ubi.com/en-US/FAQ.as...0000000eeD6CAI . Make sure all drivers are up to date!

    . . .

    Probably should work out of the gate.
    I know with FC3 and SCB, you have to switch between KB and controller. You can't use both. I hope to god they removed that/did not implement because going from stealth to shooting and vice versa, having to keep switching options via the menus blows.
