Active Matter Controller Support

The official status of gamepad support in Active Matter, straight from the FAQ.

The official Active Matter FAQ answers the controller question directly: yes, the game supports controllers, though support is still being improved and some features may still need refinement.

Official FAQ answer

  • Controller support: available.
  • Status: still being improved by the developer.
  • Some functions may still require refinement, but the game is already playable with a controller.

Controller settings and troubleshooting

  1. Connect the controller before launching or rejoining the game, then check the in-game Options screen for the controls currently exposed by your build.
  2. If a map or shortcut behaves differently, compare the current patch notes before assuming the device is unsupported; recent updates changed map zoom and raid shortcuts.
  3. The official FAQ does not publish a complete button map, supported-model list or rebinding matrix, so this page does not invent one.

Source: the official FAQ on activematter.game (2026-09-07). Exact supported gamepads and rebinding options are not listed there.

Update 0.4.0.137 restored map zoom on gamepads; Update 0.4.0.132 added gamepad shortcuts for Open and Isolated raids.
