Cronos: The New Dawn Supported Controllers on PC

Cronos: The New Dawn has native support for Xbox and PlayStation controllers on PC. I tested the Xbox Series controller as well as the DualShock 4, and both worked perfectly as you would expect with Steam Input disabled.

Additionally, the game lets you swap between button prompt types regardless of the controller plugged in. I didn’t have a DualSense on hand, but I won’t be surprised if it has support for its adaptive triggers and haptic feedback as well.

I’m very happy with the flexibility offered in Cronos: The New Dawn when it comes to customizing the controls experience. You can adjust sensitivity as well for both input types, invert controls, and access aim assist as well.
