Can you play games on your PC with a controller?

[D.C Young]

I sold my PS4 a few years ago and I'm not interested in buying another one because of money.

The only game I use to play on consoles was FIFA.

And now I want to start playing that on my PC.

Is it possible to play games like FIFA 18 on my PC with a controller?

That's the only I would be interested in playing games on my PC


- I have a HP computer with Windows 10

These questions

What controller are you trying to use? The Xbox one controller is your best bet.

FIFA has fairly low requirements, but I hope you aren't trying to play this on an old 2005 pc with integrated graphics

Yeah you can. PS4 and Xbox controllers both work on PC. Your PC got a GPU?

absolutely

i actively avoid keyboard and mouse every chance i get

That's cool. I never knew that. I always thought you actually needed a console to play console games.

(I'm not that familiar with gaming like that)

So I would simply download FIFA on my computer and simply start playing with a controller?

That's it? No other installation necessary?

Since its an HP my guess is that you are running integrated graphics and a very low power supply on that system. You might need to grab a graphics card like the 2GB GDDR5 model of the GT 1030.

thanks

so it looks like my graphics driver is out of date and I dont have enough dedicated Video RAM.

Is there a way to download it online for free?

and by the way, I just downloaded the FIFA18 demo and the shyt wont even play, could that be the reason why?

and I have Windows 10

For integrated graphics (Intel) just run windows update and it will be just fine. You can also go to Intels website and find the drivers for your specific card.

The game not even loading up is a bad sign

You might be able to play minecraft on that at 720p.



I have my pc hooked up to my 80inch tv via hdmi. Play all games from my recliner.

Use the xbox one controller wireless. When i want to watch porn i have a long usb cable plugged into the pc and a wireless mouse.

Full pc gaming in 4k in my living room. Dont need a console.

You'll need to buy a graphics card.

A GTX 1050 can run it at 1080p/60 fps, easily.

if I were to hook my pc up to my tv, would I still need to buy a graphics card?(considering all the info I've given in this thread)
