Approximately Up Controls

Controller support is one of the most-asked questions in the Steam community right after launch. Here is what we can confirm, what players are asking, and what is still unverified.

BLUEPRINT

What we know (verified)

Platform

The game is on PC (Steam). Keyboard and mouse are the default input.

Controller support

Not yet confirmed by the developer. A Steam forum thread asks 'Controller Support in the Future?', which suggests full controller support is not confirmed at launch.

In-game remapper

Players are discussing the Remapper — a community thread reports trouble setting values in it. We mark the exact mapping workflow as unverified.

How to set up controls right now

  • Open the in-game settings and check the input / controls section for the current key mapping.

  • Use the in-game Remapper to rebind keys; if values do not apply, check the Steam community thread and developer notes.

  • For controller support updates, follow the official Discord and Steam announcements.

Unverified: full key map

The complete official key mapping (movement, camera, build menu, thruster control) is not yet verified against an official source. We mark it as unverified and will publish the table once confirmed.
