Direct answer: Steam lists Full Controller Support for How to Fish, together with DualShock and DualSense support entries for the Windows version. Patch 1.0.5 added invert X and invert Y settings and lowered the minimum locked-FPS option from 50 to 30. Patch 1.0.8 fixed PlayStation glyph display.
Version boundary: Reviewed through the latest visible official Patch 1.0.8 on 2026-08-24. A complete current keybind capture is still unavailable.
Verified controller and settings support
| Feature | Official status | Important limit |
|---|---|---|
| Full Controller Support | Listed in Steam appdetails | The category does not expose every action-to-button mapping |
| DualShock and DualSense | Listed for the Windows Steam product | Controller compatibility does not establish a PlayStation edition |
| Invert X and invert Y | Added in Patch 1.0.5 | The approved source does not document separate per-device profiles |
| Locked FPS minimum | The lowest selectable lock changed from 50 to 30 in Patch 1.0.5 | This is a menu-option change, not a performance guarantee |
| PlayStation glyphs | Display issue fixed in Patch 1.0.8 | A fix note does not guarantee that every third-party controller reports the same device identity |
| Fire-sizzle volume | Made responsive to the FX-volume slider in Patch 1.0.8 | The note concerns that sound behavior, not every audio mix setting |

A safe settings check
- Confirm that your game is updated before comparing its menu with a guide or screenshot.
- Open the current settings menu and verify the X- and Y-axis options directly if you need inversion.
- Choose an FPS lock that your PC can sustain; the existence of a 30 option does not promise stable 30 FPS on unsupported hardware.
- If PlayStation prompts look wrong, first record the game version and the glyphs shown. Patch 1.0.8 says the display issue was fixed, but this page does not assume every device or input layer behaves identically.
- If the cooking fire remains loud after lowering effects, verify that the FX-volume slider changed and record your version before reporting it.
Why there is no button map here
The approved evidence does not include a complete Patch 1.0.8 menu capture accounting for every keyboard, mouse, Xbox-style, DualShock, or DualSense row. Publishing a guessed mapping would be less useful than stating the boundary. Button labels can also vary with device detection and configuration.
This page therefore does not invent exact controls for casting, reeling, weapons, inventory, interaction, menus, or vehicles. Use the prompts visible in your current build and treat launch-week screenshots as potentially stale.
Steam Deck and remapping
The dossier does not establish a current Steam Deck rating, a built-in full remapping matrix, per-controller profiles, dead-zone options, sensitivity ranges, or vibration controls. Those features remain unknown here. Steam's controller categories should not be stretched into claims the structured listing and official patches do not make.
