In-Match Controller Support

While the game controls most menu functionality in Warzone Mobile, such as choosing a playlist or customizing load-outs, via touchscreen, it seamlessly switches to full controller support once a Battle Royale or Multiplayer match begins.

Players using any control method be it Touch Controls or external controller will be matched together in the same pool.

However, as the game evolves, the developers may consider implementing separate matchmaking pools for touch and controller players, as well as potential rule changes for competitive play based on control playstyles.

Playing Warzone Mobile with a controller can enhance your gaming experience, providing a familiar and immersive control scheme. With support for various popular controllers and a seamless transition to controller gameplay during matches, Warzone Mobile offers players the flexibility to choose their preferred input method.
