If you wondering if you can use a controller with Destiny 2 Lightfall on PC – we’re going to be answering that for you here.

Destiny 2 Lightfall launches in late February, and will feature a massive expansion to Destiny 2. Destiny is one of the most popular gaming franchises at the moment, and it doesn’t look as though it’s slowing down. The game, much like Hogwarts Legacy, has a huge open world that you can explore while levelling up your character.

The game was originally a console exclusive before the second installment landed on PC. This might lead you to wonder if you can use a controller with Destiny 2 Lightfall on PC, or if the game is only playable on Keyboard and Mouse.

Luckily, Destiny 2 Lightfall has full compatibility with controller on PC, as stated on the Steam page.

It’s fairly easy to use a controller with Destiny 2 Lightfall on PC. Much like other Steam games, you’re only going to have to plug in the controller and ensure that it’s functioning fully.

As Destiny 2 is already out there, you can even test it out now by loading up the game.

We’d suggest setting things up now, before the Lightfall expansion drops, so that you can get your settings just right before launch.
