â Controller FAQ
"Does Outbound support controllers?"
Yes! Outbound is Steam Verified and fully supports Xbox and PlayStation controllers out of the box.
"Can I use a cheap third-party controller?"

Wireless is better for cozy gaming on your couch. Xbox controllers have 40hr battery life, more than enough for long sessions.
