Duet Night Abyss supports modern gamepads out of the box. You can plug in or pair most current Xbox and PlayStation controllers and start playing, even though there’s no announced console version. Here’s the short list of what works and the simplest ways to get set up.

Supported controllers (at a glance)

Controller Connection support
Xbox Series Controller Wired, Bluetooth
Xbox Elite Series Wired, Bluetooth
DualSense (PS5) Wired, Bluetooth
DualSense Edge (PS5) Wired, Bluetooth
DUALSHOCK 4 (PS4) Wired only

Once connected, the game should recognize your controller when you launch it and accept input immediately.

Connect a controller with a USB cable (most reliable)

A wired connection is the fastest way to confirm support and avoid pairing steps. Use the correct cable for your controller, connect it to your device, then launch the game.

  • DualSense (PS5) and Xbox Series: USB‑C cable
  • DUALSHOCK 4 (PS4): micro‑USB cable

Tip: If your controller doesn’t respond right away, unplug and re‑plug the cable after the game is open. Some devices enumerate controllers on first input.

Connect a controller over Bluetooth (wireless)

Wireless pairing is supported for Xbox Series, Xbox Elite Series, DualSense, and DualSense Edge.

  • Enable Bluetooth on your device.
  • Put the controller in Bluetooth pairing mode.
  • Select the controller from the device’s Bluetooth list to pair.

After pairing, launch the game and use the controller. If you’ve connected both a controller and a keyboard/mouse, input should switch seamlessly as you move between them.

Note: DUALSHOCK 4 support in this game is limited to a wired connection.

What to expect (and what’s not here)

Controller input is supported across platforms where Duet Night Abyss runs. There’s no news of a console release, but gamepad support is built in for play on supported devices.

This guide focuses on connection basics. Button layouts and in‑game remapping can vary by platform and build; use the in‑game settings if you want to adjust sensitivity or invert axes once your controller is detected.

In short. Xbox Series, Xbox Elite Series, DualSense, and DualSense Edge work over USB or Bluetooth, and DUALSHOCK 4 works over USB only. Grab the right cable, or pair over Bluetooth, and the game should pick up your controller as soon as it starts.
