Whether you like touch controls, a plugged-in controller, or your favorite bluetooth one that you use for console games, Warzone Mobile has the option for you to use it. And there’s a full suite of customization options coming, too.

The touchscreen control customization is extensive, according to a new Activision blog post, which includes everything from control presets and a fully customizable HUD, allowing players to select the size and placement of all of the touchscreen controls.

“This is where you can make a limitless number of changes to every aspect of your control scheme,” Activision said. “All of this is purely optional, but usually players delve into this menu once they’ve chosen an HUD preset that they enjoy using but want to adjust the location of a specific button for reasons of functionality or comfort.”

There are also several more options to allow for automation, such as automatically picking up weapons, an option to automatically turn toward a damage source, and others such as mantling, parachuting, climbing stairs, and more. The game sounds like it will be very accessible for all kinds of gamers, no matter their preferred method of play.

The other two options to play Warzone Mobile with are bluetooth controllers, like a PS5, PS4, or Xbox controller, plus the Backbone One mobile controller, the official controller partner for the game. There will be an exclusive “Prestige Edition” of the Backbone One, complete with extra double XP tokens, available via the Best Buy mobile app’s Best Buy Drops program.
