Here's the answer to whether Wild Rift has controller support.

League of Legends: Wild Rift is the latest title in the League of Legends universe, created by Riot Games. Like the original League of Legends, Wild Rift falls into the Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) genre.

Wild Rift's beta started to roll out around the world back in 2020, with countries like Brazil and the Philippines the first to receive access. Following those countries was the likes of South Korea and Japan, before many other nations in Asia, the Middle East and Europe received access in December.

That has left North America, Canada and other areas of South America without access to the game. However, fans won't have to wait long, with the League of Legends: Wild Rift beta due to release here on March 29. Although, there are a few caveats with the

Where can I play League of Legends: Wild Rift?

Unfortunately, for those looking to play Wild Rift on either console or PC - you're out of luck. Currently, the game will only be available on mobile devices, from both the iOS and Android stores.

Will League of Legends: Wild Rift have controller support?

Again, unfortunately not. The game is designed to be played with an on-screen keypad. That's not to say further down the line Riot Games won't add it, but for now, and when it releases in the Americas, players won't be able to take advantage of any Wild Rift controller support.

Players will have a fully customisable button mapping feature though to make sure everything feels as natural as possible for everybody involved.

How Similar will this game be to the original LOL?

Very similar. Wild Rift is a slightly tweaked version of the PC MOBA. It contains a lot of the features that made the original game so popular, including a variety of champions and many of the exciting gameplay elements. Each match will likely run between 15-20 minutes, so make sure you have a charger to hand.
