Glitchpunklooks like an old-schoolGrand Theft Autoadventure, and that’s because indie developer Dark Lord created it to emulate old top-down perspective games like the earlyGTAtitles.
It’s still in early access, so not every feature has been included yet. This includesGlitchpunkrelying on amanual save system. While this is how save data was handled in games likeGrand Theft Auto 2, it’s very inconvenient for modern players not to have access to an autosave feature.

As well as autosaves, a feature a lot of PC players would like fromGlitchpunkis controller support. The required specs to play the indie title aren’t that high, so a lot of casual PC owners who prefer using a gamepad might be more interested in trying it out if they could use a controller.
Does Glitchpunk Have Controller Support?
Glitchpunkdoes not have native controller support at the moment, but it is available to play on a gamepad through the Steam Controller configuration.
Steam supported controllersneed to be connected through Bluetooth or a usb cable. Once that is done, players can start using their favourite gamepad to cause as much destruction in New Baltia as possible. AsGlitchpunkdoes not have native support yet, the prompts and controls in the settings menu will still appear as mouse-and-keyboard.
Players can refer to this guide to see what each button does while playing with a gamepad. The buttons will be referred to in Xbox/PlayStation terms, but the corresponding buttons will work with any supported controller.

Driving Controller Inputs for Glitchpunk
To drive with the left analog stick, players must always have it pointing up, no matter what direction the vehicle is moving on screen. A slight adjustment should then be made in the direction players want to turn.
Although driving is possible with a controller, it is very hard to navigate. Players will have an easier time using the WASD keys while they’re in a vehicle if they don’t want to smash into everypolice caron their way to another contract.
Developer Dark Lord has confirmed thatGlitchpunkwill eventually receive controller support duringearly access. There’s even a greyed-out toggle for controller prompts in the settings, hopefully indicating this feature will be added sooner rather than later.
