Lost Ark Controller Support Explained
Yes, Lost Ark has controller support for specifically Xbox controllers.
While many players have been able to use PlayStation 4 and 5 controllers without running into issues, the button mapping on the screen is listed as the Xbox controller layout.
Lost Ark is so impressive and supports controllers out the gate that I can't help but be excited. If you want help getting a PlayStation controller setup or just want more @playlostark in your YouTube feed, I hope you enjoy this video: https://t.co/LPH3gJbnHA

The lack of proper PlayStation controller support can be confusing and, overall, a disadvantage for players, but those who are interested can check out the above video to see how to set up their PlayStation controllers for Lost Ark.
When launching up the game with an Xbox controller plugged in, it should immediately connect to the game.
However, if that doesn't work, players can go into the Lost Ark settings, open the Gamepad Interface settings, and make sure Use Gamepad is enabled.
