PC, XBOX ONE & PS4 Shortcuts / Controls Buttons -

Apex Legends, like any other game, has its own set of keys. Some are clear – movement and shooting are usually the same play after the game – but some are less so. Inventory management skills and systems, as well as communicating with other Legends on your team can make you give up. So here is a guide for the controls in this game:

Xbox One and PlayStation 4 Controls – Controller

You can, of course, use the classic Xbox controller if you’re playing games on PC, although you’ll probably be at a huge disadvantage against the majority who will use mice and keyboards on this platform.

In this section we’ve outlined the core Xbox One settings that are easy to transfer to the PlayStation 4 if you’re playing on that console.

The following is an easy reference for the default Xbox controller settings, which you can click or tap to enlarge. Note that you can use some custom alternative settings which you’ll find just below the image itself.
