Attack on Titan 3 PS5 Controls

Expected PS5 DualSense controls for Attack on Titan 3 based on AOT2 patterns. ODM, combat, and squad command bindings — updated when official layouts release.

DualSense Default Layout (Expected)

The following PlayStation 5 control layout is based on Attack on Titan 2's PS4 bindings, adjusted for DualSense features and potential new ODM inputs in Attack on Titan 3. These are not final confirmed bindings — Koei Tecmo will publish official schemes closer to the Winter 2026 launch.

Attack on Titan 2 on PlayStation used intuitive face-button combat with shoulder triggers for ODM gas and hook actions. Attack on Titan 3's evolved ODM system may add a dedicated weak-point focus input and aerial combo trigger, potentially mapped to R1 or L1.

DualSense-Specific Features

Adaptive triggers on L2 and R2 may simulate gas release resistance and hook tension, providing tactile feedback during Exterior Scouting traversal. Haptic feedback should pulse during Titan impacts, blade clashes, and Colossal Titan footsteps during Nine Titans encounters.

These features enhance immersion but are not required for gameplay. Players who prefer standard trigger behavior can likely disable adaptive trigger effects in settings.

Tips for PS5 Players

Use performance mode for responsive 60fps ODM combat if Koei Tecmo offers a display mode toggle. Wired DualSense connection via USB eliminates Bluetooth latency for frame-critical dodges during boss fights.
