For PC

Tower of Fantasy supports Xinput controllers, meaning Xbox controllers such as the Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S are recognized by the game. All you need to do is plug your Xbox controller into the PC’s USB port or connect wirelessly via Bluetooth if your PC supports it.

For PS4 and PS5 controllers, you need to download third-party software from DS4Windows to configure the Sony controller for Tower of Fantasy. This is because the DualShock and DualSense controllers are not supported by Xinput. Even if you use PS4 and PS5 controllers to play Tower of Fantasy, only the Xbox UI controller inputs will be displayed.

If you want to be patient, Tower of Fantasy is planning a release on Steam. This means you don’t have to use DS4Windows to configure your PS4 and PS5 controllers, as Steam already has its own software that configures it for you. The Steam release of Tower of Fantasy is expected sometime in H2 2022, between October 1 and December 31 of this year.
