Controller vs Keyboard and Mouse
Both controller and keyboard-plus-mouse are included in the official PC requirement notes.
Quick answer: Choose the input method you prefer; test menu navigation, first-person camera and decorating controls separately at launch.
Three-point checklist
- Confirm the rule: Steam lists controller or keyboard plus mouse for minimum and recommended setups.
- Plan around it: Support for both inputs does not guarantee identical binding options.
- Do not assume: Controller models, remapping and glyph switching are not specified.
Why this deserves its own guide
The Controller vs Keyboard and Mouse page resolves one specific player question and connects it to the wider release & compatibility system. It avoids splitting unverified items, NPCs or upgrades into placeholder URLs.
