Best way to play Civ 6 on TV?

I own a Switch, PS5, and a beefy PC and have been playing Civilization since the first one on MS-DOS.

I love playing games on my TV and using a controller nowadays. I’ve been playing the Switch version and it works great (controls-wise) but there are obvious performance issues. My PC has no difficulty playing Civ6 regardless of map sizes or number of AIs. But I dislike playing with the KBM when I’m in front of the TV. Since I’ve already double-dipped (well, triple, since I also own Civ6 on my iPad), I’m reluctant to buy the PS5 version as well.

Does anyone know if there are any good controller mods out there for the PC version? I’ve even tried emulating the Switch version on my PC, which works well, but doesn’t quite give the performance level I would expect to get, since it’s emulating a Switch now.

Rentlar,

Try some Steam Input configs or go out and buy a Steam Deck (lol)?

SpaceNoodle,

On the TV I used to use a Logitech K400, but now I play 4X games like that on my Steam Deck.

KnitWit,

You can use xbox/ps controllers on pc with steam. The steamdeck controller layout works great, you’d just use right hoystick instead of trackpad.

HobbesHK,

I’ll give this a go! I’ve got a Steam Deck too, but prefer playing on the TV. 👍
