Yo, Grand Theft Auto-bots! Buckle Up for Controller Conundrums in GTA 6 (Epic Games PC Edition)
Hold onto your yeehaw hats, y'all, because GTA 6 has finally hit the streets like a runaway juggernaut powered by questionable decisions and epic explosions. But before you dive headfirst into the neon wonderland of Vice City 2.0, there's a hurdle to conquer that's trickier than outrunning the cops after a five-star spree: using your PS5 controller on the Epic Games PC version.
Yeah, I know, the whole PC-with-PlayStation-controller tango can be a mind-bending waltz. So let's grab some virtual snacks and unravel this mystery like Michael unraveling a yoga mat for a questionable side hustle.
Step 1: Channel Your Inner Bluetooth Whisperer
QuickTip: Break reading into digestible chunks.![]()
First things first, make sure your Bluetooth is turned on and whispering sweet nothings to your lonely PS5 controller. Think of it as a digital love affair, minus the restraining orders and awkward court appearances. You can find this Bluetooth charmer in your PC's settings, usually nestled between "Display" and "That Folder We Don't Talk About."
Step 2: The Dance of the Blinking Lights (aka Pairing Mode)
QuickTip: Revisit key lines for better recall.![]()
Now, grab your controller and hold down the PS button and the Share button for three glorious seconds. Watch those little lights on the back go nuts like a rave in a disco ball factory. That, my friends, is your controller entering "pairing mode," which basically means it's saying, "Hey, universe, anyone wanna hang out and play GTA 6?"
Step 3: Finding Your Soulmate (aka Adding the Controller)
QuickTip: Focus more on the ‘how’ than the ‘what’.![]()
Head back to your PC's Bluetooth settings and scan for new devices. Your controller should pop up like a long-lost cousin you never knew you needed. Click on that bad boy and boom, you're practically cruising the neon streets of Vice City in a stolen golf cart.
Bonus Round: Tweaking the Controls for Maximum Mayhem
Tip: Reading in chunks improves focus.![]()
Okay, so you're connected, but the controls feel like you're trying to steer a drunken flamingo with chopsticks. Fear not, intrepid gamer! You can customize those controls in the game's settings like a mad scientist tinkering with a joypad Frankenstein. Swap buttons, adjust sensitivity, make L3 your personal "instant dance party" button – the possibilities are as endless as Trevor's questionable business ventures.
Pro Tip: If all else fails, throw the controller at the wall in frustration. Just kidding (maybe). Sometimes a good old-fashioned rage quit is the only way to reset the universe and get your controller talking to your PC again.
Remember, fellow Grand Theft Auto-maniacs, the path to controller nirvana is paved with patience, a dash of technical voodoo, and enough snacks to fuel a week-long online heist. So grab your trusty DualSense, strap on your virtual cowboy hat, and get ready to unleash some epic mayhem in GTA 6, PC style! Just don't blame me if your neighbors start complaining about the sound of virtual tires screeching and explosions rocking the walls.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with a stolen helicopter and a whole lot of mischief to make. Happy gaming, y'all!
