I have a USB XBOX 360 controller and it worked perfectly fine. Just plugged it in before playing. Didn't need to install anything as support is inbuilt in windows. Used it to play while being in VR and I didn't edit any settings to use it.

I have windows 10. It worked without drivers on both windows 7 and 10 with my games... Skipped 8 for whole lot reasons. But should work there as well.

Lol did you even read my comment? It worked for me without changing any options or installing any drivers. The game even exist on real XBOX. Ofc it is implemented on PC version.

Question for those with the Windows controller. Mine has been acting up lately, with the green light circle always flashing and I can't get it to acknowledge my IR receiver. Is there something wrong with the controller? The driver is installed on Windows as it should be, the receiver is sending, but the controller won't stop flashing, even after I do a sync between the two.

Load up Steam Big Picture Mode > Settings (Gear icon) > Controller Settings and check for this: https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/297913/right-stick-doesnt-work-in-any-steam-games/297932#297932

SBPM is now capable of filling the role of software like x360ce/DS4Windows and others by offering emulation options, so for instance a PS4 controller can now be used in XInput-only games, using their new built-in DirectInput > XInput emulator. The problem is this emulation is new and buggy and may cause problems with games that already have native support for your controller. This can be fixed by turning it off unless you explicitly need it for your game/controller combo.

If that's not the cause, you can try the normal button/axis calibration in Windows by opening start and typing "controller", which should autocomplete to an applet named "Set up USB game controllers". In there, you can access the properties, and if available, calibration options for pretty much any gamepad, joystick, HOTAS that is installed. This will at least let you see that windows recognizes the device and all it's buttons/axes correctly.

I dont know why you people have so much problems. I just bought an XBOX 360 controller (Official microsoft product) that is cabled. And I never needed any drivers and always worked perfectly fine in games with support. Including Subnautica.

I figured out my issue. Had the wrong driver activated. My wireless control is working properly again.

I have the game on both Steam and the Windows 10 store version. My controller works fine on the Windows 10 version but does not on the Steam version.
