Exciting News for Gloomwood Fans: Controller Support Is Here!

Great news for all the Gloomwood enthusiasts and couch gamers out there! After years of waiting and countless forum threads asking for it, Gloomwood has finally added controller support. Yes, you read that right! Now you can enjoy this stealth-based immersive sim on your Steam Deck or any handheld PC without any hassle.

Previously, players had to rely on makeshift gamepad layouts crafted by the community, which wasn’t the most comfortable way to dive into a game that channels the vibe of the classic Thief series. But now, with this latest update, not only is controller support fully integrated, but tutorials have also been refreshed for those who prefer to game with a controller. Plus, you can customize your button bindings to suit your gaming style!

This update also introduces a new shop in the market plaza, which is exciting, but let’s be honest—most of us were just crossing our fingers for the gamepad support. Gloomwood, which hit Steam in 2022, is still in early access, but it’s received a ton of love from the gaming community with over 5,500 reviews that are overwhelmingly positive. Frequent updates have kept players engaged, and just earlier this year, the developers rolled out a major new map that boasts the game’s most expansive and vertical open area to date.

For those wondering if the game is worth jumping into, Ted Litchfield made waves earlier this year by stating that Gloomwood has surpassed the “early access threshold.” His verdict? It’s definitely time to dive into Gloomwood as it’s already making waves in the gaming scene!
