Path Of Exile Starts Controller Support Testing On PC With Patch 3.17.3

The recent launch of Valve’s Steam Deck has allowed PC players to take their favorite games on the go. Unfortunately, the portable console’s controller doesn’t lend well to most mouse and keyboard games, a fact that several developers are now trying to address, Path of Exile’s Grinding Gear Games among them.

While Path of Exile has been available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One for several years now, Grinding Gear has yet to roll out controller support for the PC. The team, however, reveals that they’ve got a beta version ready to roll out with Patch 3.17.3 with the full version slated for release alongside the 3.18 expansion launch in May.

Note that the beta version may have issues and will not be available on Epic Game Store and macOS versions. The team also asks Steam Deck users to try out the feature as soon as Patch 3.17.3 arrives sometime today or tomorrow.
