Rocket League Sideswipe controller not working fix
If you’re finding that your controller isn’t syncing with Rocket League Sideswipe, there are a few fixes to try out.
- Make sure you’re using a controller that’s compatible with the game.
- Developer Psyonix Labs has said that PlayStation and Xbox controllers will work with the game, as well as mobile-compatible Bluetooth controllers. Make sure your input device can connect to your mobile first. Otherwise, playing Rocket League Sideswipe with it simply won’t work.
- Check your in-game settings.
- On Rocket League Sideswipe, there’s a controller customization menu. This is worth checking to make sure everything is synced up properly. However, there isn’t an option to toggle controller use on or off, meaning you won’t be able to hard-reset the connection within the game.
If these options fail, the chances are it’s a wider problem with Rocket League Sideswipe. Several users on Reddit have reported Xbox and PlayStation 4 controllers not working with the game. In those cases, it’s likely a problem with the game itself, meaning it should be fixed in the future. For those instances, it’s a good idea to check the game’s Twitter page, which should detail this bug, and estimate when it can be fixed. Failing that, you’ll have to just lookout for a new update to fix it.
