Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Controls List

You are probably going to need the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 controls list, because they are a little difficult to wrap your head around. You’ll get used to it eventually, through practice and repetition. In the meantime, you might need to have the list handy until you grasp them. With all that said, let’s dive into it.

Controls List in Xenoblade Chronicles 3

We are going to divide our list of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 controls into four different categories, just like the game does.

Just go into the pause menu, select System, then go into Control Guide. If you don’t want to keep pausing, though, here’s the list.
