Controller Support on PC

On PC, Skate Story offers native support for both Xbox and PlayStation controllers, with correct in-game button prompts displayed automatically.

If PlayStation button prompts do not appear correctly, you can disable Steam Input by following these steps:

  1. Make sure Skate Story is not running
  2. Open Steam and go to your Library
  3. Right-click Skate Story and select Properties
  4. Open the Controller tab
  5. Under “Override for Skate Story,” choose Disable Steam Input

The ability to view and remap controls was added on release day. While the interface is fairly basic, it is functional and allows players to tailor the controls to their preferences effectively.
