Does StarRupture Have Controller Support?

StarRupture has officially launched into early access, with the Creepy Jar title putting players on a hostile planet tasked with survival, and controller support is a feature players have raised questions about.

Early access to StarRupture launched on January 7, giving players the first opportunity to dive into the game, but there’s still a lot to come in development before the full release.

If you want to know all the details on the status of controller support in StarRupture, Insider Gaming has all the details.

Does StarRupture Have Controller Support?

No, StarRupture does not include controller support following the launch of early access on January 6, with only mouse and keyboard support.

While it is possible to map out controller inputs using Steam, the process can be complicated if you don’t know what you’re doing, and there’s a chance that you will miss some crucial inputs, particularly for features that might not be immediately clear at launch.

Steam does provide the option to download controller input profiles created by other players, so it’s worth keeping an eye on the Reddit and Discord pages for any creations.

The door is not closed to controller support entirely, however, as StarRupture launched in an early access stage and development of the title continues.

Will StarRupture Add Controller Support?

StarRupture could add official controller support in the future, but there is no guarantee it will be added, and doesn’t seem to be a priority during development.

The early access roadmap overview shared by the developers does not specify plans for controller support, although there are plans for additional accessibility support, including improved keybinds, subtitle options, and adjustable text size.

Controller support’s omission from the early access roadmap could indicate there are no plans to add it until post-launch of the full release, an approach that was seen in a previous release by Creepy Jar, Green Hell.

Initially launched in early access in August 2018, the 1.0 release of Green Hell followed in September 2019, with controller support then added in December of the same year.

No timeline has been stated yet for the duration of early access and the full launch, but it’s clear the addition of controller support could be a way off.
