V Rising Controls Guide (Keyboard, Controller)

One of the essential elements to learning any game is understanding its controls - and V Rising is no different. Here, you’ll learn about the default controls and keybinds for V Rising across keyboards and the most common kinds of controllers.

V Rising Controls & Keybinds (Default)

It’s important to mention that V Rising’s full release added partial controller support to the vampire survival action RPG. Although controllers aren’t fully supported, even with V Rising 1.0, the game still provides excellent flexibility in letting players customize their controller keybinds. V Rising players can edit their keybinds by going to the in-game Settings menu. On the other hand, turn on “Big Picture Mode” on your Steam app. Then, navigate to V Rising on your Library and select the small controller icon to the right of the “Play” button. Here, you can edit the controller keybinds based on your preferences. With that, here are the default controls for V Rising for the various usable gaming peripherals:
