    Hey @DerrameNeutral

    There's no definite information yet I believe.. https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Star_Wars_Battlefront_II_(2017)

    But considering that Battlefield 1 , and Star Wars Battlefront (2015) did both have a controller support in at launch , it would be quite weird to consider that this game wouldn't have it at launch. As long as your Xbox 360 connects to the PC and is capable of X input support, it most likely will work with Star Wars Battlefront II (2017) out of the box.

    If someone can confirm was the support in at the alpha that'd be nice.

@Alacor_FX   Battlefront didn't have aim assist and caused a bit of conflict among people whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. People were concerned that if there was an aim assist for controllers on a PC , it'd be easy to trick the game into thinking you're using a controller while in reality using a mouse giving you a huge edge in combat if you were able to gain the controller aim assist for a mouse.

Battlefield 1 which came later ended up including aim assist for controllers on PC anyway and it haven't seemingly spawned any issues either, so there honestly is a good chance Battlefront II would follow BF1's approach considering how they most likely are borrowing each other's engine quite a bit. Just speculating though.

@RedFoxxieOh, awesome. That makes me more optimistic then. I really prefer controllers for shooters, and if it wasn't included I probably would get much less play time out of the game.

    @Alacor_FX Hey, I checked with someone who played the early build at Gamescom and he thinks there wasn't any aim assist for folks with a pad. 

    That doesn't mean it won't be added or that it wasn't just disabled for the demo event.

    I think the best thing will be to check out the Open Beta coming up on October 6th and see how playable it is with a pad. I'll be sure to check this myself, but let us know either way how you find the pad controls, we can use your post to give feedback for the studio. 

    Thanks.

      @EA_DavidThanks for looking into it so quickly! Really appreciate it.

      I'll try to get in some time during the open beta and report back.
