However, when the game did release across the world yesterday, it&#8217;s all anyone has been talking about. Yet, consumers were disappointed after finding out that you couldn&#8217;t play <strong>Valorant <\/strong>with an <strong>Xbox One <\/strong>controller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why does this come as a <em>bummer<\/em>? Well, for starters, <strong>Xbox One <\/strong>controllers can be paired with almost any game on <strong>Windows<\/strong>. <strong>Microsoft <\/strong>has particularly made that possible in <strong>Windows 10 <\/strong>with the <strong>Xbox Live <\/strong>feature for their OS. So, it comes as no surprise that people would be disappointed for not being able to use an <strong>Xbox One <\/strong>controller in some games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When <strong>Valorant <\/strong>was announced, people were smart to point out that the game resembled the prestigious <strong>Counter-Strike: Global Offensive<\/strong> in many ways. But, why would <strong>Riot Games<\/strong> want to make the same mistake of not including support for <strong>Xbox One <\/strong>controllers? We don&#8217;t know! However, that doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s not possible! In this article, we will explain how you can play <strong>Valorant <\/strong>with an <strong>Xbox One <\/strong>controller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Play Valorant With An Xbox One Controller?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s simple and can be done in only a few minutes! To do this, all you have to do is follow the steps mentioned below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Download and install the <strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rewasd.com\/#\">reWASD<\/a> Xbox One <\/strong>controller re-mapping software for PC.<\/li><li>Once installed, open the application and you&#8217;ll notice an <strong>Xbox <\/strong>controller in front of you.<\/li><li>From there, it&#8217;s straightforward. All you have to do is customize the controller configurations with your keyboard and mouse ones. For instance, if you want to set <strong>&#8220;X&#8221;<\/strong> on your controller as the right-click button on your mouse, click on the <strong>&#8220;X&#8221;<\/strong> button in the layout and bind it with <strong>&#8220;MOUSE 1&#8221;<\/strong>. Similarly, you can do this for all other configurations. It&#8217;s simple!<\/li><li>If you want to use pre-set configurations by users, download your desired configuration for <strong>Valorant <\/strong>from almost 40 presets on <strong>reWASD&#8217;s<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rewasd.com\/community\/games\/valorant-controller-support\">website<\/a>, and import them to the application.<\/li><li>Once you&#8217;re satisfied with the configuration, plug in your <strong>Xbox<\/strong> <strong>One <\/strong>controller and open <strong>Valorant<\/strong>. You&#8217;ll see a notification saying that a new device is being installed. If you see that, it means that everything was configured.<\/li><li>You can customize the sensitivity for movement from the <strong>reWASD <\/strong>application, as well as in-game.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is reWASD?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>reWASD <\/strong>is an <strong>Xbox One <\/strong>controller re-mapping software that enables you to customize controls for any controller on your PC, regardless of in-game controller support. You can customize everything, including sensitivity and delay-times for all the buttons. If you don&#8217;t want to customize the controls yourself, you can download presets for any game and import them to the application. It only takes a few minutes to set it all up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">reWASD Prices &amp; Features:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>reWASD <\/strong>offers a free and a premium version. You can download whichever based on your requirements. However, bear in mind that the free version has a 14-day trial period. So, if you want to use the software beyond that, you&#8217;ll have to purchase the license for an inexpensive <strong>$6.00<\/strong> cost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Riot Games released the open-Beta for Valorant yesterday.
