It’s been a day since Riot Games has launched its anticipated FPS title Valorant on PC. The game takes and combines elements from the popular and loved titles like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Overwatch. Valorant doesn’t support controllers natively but it can be played with a controller. To the people looking to play Valorant with PS4 controller, you’ve come to the right place.

As from experience, I don’t recommend using a controller for fast-paced competitive games like Valorant as it requires skill and honed instincts to take down the enemy in deciding moments. Valorant is a tactical FPS game that features agents who have unique abilities and use an economic system to purchase their abilities and weapons. Without any further ado let’s get to the guide.
