Delta Force is laying down the law as an FPS not to be messed with, and its controller support keeps cropping up in combat. Mouse and keyboard players need not worry, but let’s see if Delta Force has a controller as a trusted ally.
The gaming market is never short of shooters—third-person, first-person, or otherwise. Black Ops 6 and Warzone remain popular despite dwindling numbers, Marvel Rivals is dominating the hero shooter genre, and Fortnite has infinite lives. Gray Zone Warfare was an example of an indie shooter trying to break out and match the extraction success of Escape From Tarkov—but Delta Force is a force in its own right.
The first-person shooter title has received new fans courtesy of its free Black Hawk Down Campaign DLC. We’ll clear up any confusion about controller support for Team Jade’s shooter.
Does Delta Force Have Controller Support?
Delta Force officially doesn’t have controller support on PC yet, meaning you either have to use keyboard and mouse or unsupported controller support.
Unfortunately, Delta Force doesn’t let you use a controller right now. If you want to use a controller with Delta Force, you need to enable Steam Input. This allows you to connect a controller, but the controls might be a bit funky and unstable. You might experience input issues you wouldn’t have with proper native support.
For now, you’re better off using a keyboard and mouse. This might not be forever though as updates have been provided concerning controller support.
When is Controller Support Coming to Delta Force?
The developer has confirmed controller support is coming to Delta Force in Q1 2025.
On Dec. 5, 2024, a Steam General Discussion thread for Delta Force discussed the topic of “No controller support?” User Philx.v posed this question about Delta Force. The question wasn’t left for the community to discuss amongst itself though.
A Team Jade dev commented on the query: “Thank you for playing Delta Force! We’re working on adding controller support and are aiming to introduce this feature to the game by Q1 2025.” It’s looking likely that March 2025 will see the addition of controller support, but this is subject to change.
It was rumored the support would coincide with the console launch of Delta Force. However, the Delta Force console release date—as of writing—has been postponed. But it is coming, so keep those dual analog sticks warm while you wait.
