How to Use a Controller in Zenless Zone Zero

Before anything else, connect the controller to whatever device you’re playing on. If you’re on PC or mobile, you will need to connect your gamepad with a wireless or Bluetooth connection, though PC users should also be able to play with a wired connection. For PS5 players, you should already have your DualSense controller connected, so no issues there.

When you boot up the game, it should automatically detect that you’re already using a gamepad. But if not, bring up the menu and go to Options, then click on the Input tab. Under the UI Layout dropdown menu, click on it and choose Controller, and you should be good to go.

You can go back to mouse and keyboard anytime you want by going through the settings, or just unplugging the gamepad.

And that’s everything you need to know about controller support in Zenless Zone Zero. Be sure to search up The Escapist for more tips and information on the game, including the best teams and party compositions, as well as our take on who you should pick on the standard banner.
