New World does not have the
controller support right now however, there's a simple workaround to play it
with the controller. For this you have to take some precautions and under
certain circumstances assign the action that you think is appropriate to each
controller input. But don't worry: there is also an alternative that can save
you the work.
Do the following to be able to play New
World with the controller:
Go to your Steam library, right click on "New World" and click on Properties.
Go to the "Controller" tab and change "Use
Default Settings" to "Activate Steam Input".
Now connect the controller and start the game.
As soon as you have selected your character and released
into the New World game world, use the key
combination "Tabulator + Shift".
The Steam overlay will be activated and you will find the
option "Controller Configuration" at the top right of the screen.
Here you can assign an action to all entries.
It could take a lot of time until you have assigned all of
the actions to the controller inputs. Fortunately, you also have the option
"Browse Configurations" . Here you can try out the controller
configurations of other players and in the best case scenario you don't have to
change anything or hardly anything.
Nonetheless, some drawbacks remain. You can now use
the controller, but the layout in the game does not adapt to the new input
device. On top of that, the various input options cannot be completely covered
by the controller. For a better gamepad experience, you have to wait for
official support.
