Albion Online isn’t coming to consoles just yet but developer Sandbox Interactive offers the next best thing – controller support. Starting March 2nd, players will be able to use a wide range of standard PC and console controllers to get around the sandbox MMORPG. The game will also be launching on Steam Deck on the same day.

“The introduction of controller support marks the next step toward our goal of bringing Albion Online to as many players and platforms as possible, and we plan to continue optimizing this feature in anticipation of a full controller support release. Once testing begins, compatible controllers will be usable on all desktop versions of the game, and can be activated during this first phase via chat commands. (Those playing via the Steam client on Steam Deck will be able to use the device controllers by default.)”

Meanwhile, the next Crystal League Championship round officially kicks off later today. Fans will be able to watch the action on Twitch starting at 9:00 am PST.
