Does Mewgenics Have Controller Support? PlayStation & Xbox Controller Support On Steam, Explained

The usual array of questions is being thrown at Mewgenics, as a Steam title. This includes wondering about its Steam Deck compatibility and if the game supports PlayStation and/or Xbox controller support.

Mewgenics needs to be enjoyed in any way possible. The cuddly yet catastrophically grim and violent cat-oriented strategy title has wowed everyone since its February 10 release, and if you’re looking to play it on Steam, controller support could be a sticking point.

Can You Play Mewgenics Using a PlayStation or Xbox Controller?

Mewgenics has complete PlayStation and Xbox controller support, and this has been verified and confirmed by its official Steam store listing.

Good news: If you want to play Mewgenics with a PS5 or Xbox Series X|S controller (or something adjacent), you can.

There’s always an iffy element of can you/can’t you with games on Steam, even if they’re only available to buy on the platform. Some are only usable with a mouse and keyboard, as the configuration is easier to manage.

However, if you check the Mewgenics Steam page, you’ll clearly see a box in the right column saying ‘Full Controller Support,’ with Xbox Controllers and PlayStation Controllers listed, too.

Connecting a controller is easy, as you can do it either directly through a USB cable and looking for the device, or manually setting it up by connecting the controller and computer system using Bluetooth.

It’s as easy as training a cat, sort of.

Is Mewgenics Steam Deck Verified?

Steam Decks are compatible with Mewgenics, meaning you can play using your Steam console if you want.

A little bonus question answered for you: Steam Deck verification is A-ok for Mewgenics!

Again, you’d think it would be self-explanatory, but not all games have Steam Deck support. Mewgenics does, and that’s all that meowtters for this query.

Check out the Steam compatibility evaluation:

“Valve’s testing indicates that Mewgenics is Verified on Steam Deck. This game is fully functional on Steam Deck, and works great with built-in controls and display.”

It’s always good to get the IG community’s thoughts on things like this: Do you prefer using a controller for Steam games? Or are you part of the PC master race who settle for nothing less than a mouse and keyboard? Jot down your thoughts via the free-to-join Insider Gaming Discord Server.
