Nintendo switch pro controler support for apex legends

I just download apex legends for pc and I would like to know if the switch pro controller works with the game. I got the controller connected to the pc via Bluetooth, but that is all.

    By launching the game through Steam, you can utilize the Big Picture feature to get your Switch Pro Controller to work in any game. You may need to tweak some settings, however. I, for one, would make sure to disable the actual launching of Big Picture mode and just use the controller bindings aspect of it. I can't remember exactly what settings you need to adjust to make that work, but some tinkering in the options menu shouldn't prove too difficult.

    I don't believe that the Switch Controller is supported out of the box with Apex Legends so to speak @Win8tor.


    I have seen some users using the Switch controller on PC but to get it to work they were using third-party software to do so. Best thing to do is take a look around at what others are using in order to get the Pro controller working but as it requires third party software we would be unable to support any issues you saw with getting it running.

    How do you launch the game thru steam since Apex is not available thru steam?
