The in-game Controls are the keybinds that allow the player to interact with the game world. They are accessible from the Options menu on the menu screen, or after pausing the game.
On the PC edition, keyboard controls can be changed from the Input tab, while game controllers can be changed using the Gamepad tab; Console Editions only have the Controls tab.

Trivia[]
- On the Playstation 4 Edition, the World Map is assigned to both the D-Pad Right button and the Touchpad by default. Unbinding the Map key will change it to "touch pad button", and changing the bind afterwards will unbind the Touchpad. Since the Touchpad cannot be bound to a key, the only way to restore it as a keybind is to restore defaults. This does not occur if the initial keybind is simply changed, rather than removed.
- The Radar is currently non-functional, even when bound to a key.
