WoW console port

[Luuni-area-52]

There is a console port add-on. I know some folks have had success with it. There are YouTube videos of folks using console port in high rated arenas and PVE.

You don’t even need the addon anymore, they added native controller support.

[Luuni-area-52]

Isn’t the native one though done by the /commands?

The add-on makes it pretty and easier I thought?

[Euripidies-lightbringer]

Well, if Ion says so, it must be set in stone then. Unfortunate!

[Ahnohla-hyjal]

That I couldn’t tell you, I just remember them saying that the game would now work with a controller without needing to download anything extra. You could be right. Either way though, you can use a controller, but that has no bearing on whether or not it would actually come to consoles or not.

Port this thing to console

Why when they added console controller support for the game with this expansion in 9.0.1

Guide to the new gamepad/controller support in 9.0.1!

In Patch 9.0.1, Blizzard has finally added native gamepad support to WoW! In the past it was necessary to use an external program, such as xpadder, Steam, or the ConsolePort addon’s WoWmapper companion, to control the game with a gamepad such as the Xbox, Playstation, or Steam Controller. This is a really useful feature for people who are need a little extra help with accessibility due to some kind of injury or condition, like myself, but it’s also really nice for anyone who just wants to kick b…

[Euripidies-lightbringer]

I want to increase the toxicity of our cities, our cities!

When was that?

It was July 2020. But in that same interview Euripidies quoted, Hight also said this:

Blizzard is making a push with World of Warcraft controller support for upcoming expansion Shadowlands. But, as executive producer John Hight explained to me, this isn’t about fitting the game on a PlayStation or Xbox pad. It’s about broadening input options for players with disabilities.

“So what we’re doing,” John Hight told me, "is enabling a lot of the things required for our add-on community to build add-ons for controller support. And it isn’t just controllers: we’re looking at a number of different devices. But our focus was not to try and make WoW feel like a console game but rather for players with disabilities to have more accessible input devices.

Port this thing to console.

No. Get a PC.

[Euripidies-lightbringer]

You don’t have to game on PC. WoW has a Mac port.

[Thallia-sentinels (Thallia)]

Semantics.

[Nicefulbreed-bloodscalp]

But have you ever played a fully functional wow experience in bed? Obviously not

[Luuni-area-52]

I think WoW is going this direction. You can see it with the action bar pruning. Look at the amount of skills in Classic vs Dragonflight for combat.

[Sothh-eldrethalas]

Honestly I would love to have a best parts of God of War, Witcher 3, Red Read Redemption, Assassins Creed, Ghosts of Tsushima style of game in the Warcraft world to play on console.

The only PC games I have really played in my Life with any seriousness are EQ, WOW, Old School Command and Conquer and the Warcraft RTS. Everything else has been console.

[Arzosah-mankrik]

PC Master Race.

[Razildum-aegwynn]

I Play wow on my steamdeck while not at home and it work amazing with consoleport addon…
So you Do have a option to Play wow on a “console” as of today

[Echookingg-daggerspine]

they broke console port support with this new update can you please fix asap

[Slotmachine-sargeras]

wouldnt it be uncomfortable to play it on controller tho ?

[Supèrnova-icecrown]

I would not mind playing on PS5 or Series X, but I would be ecstatic if they made it run on Nintendo Switch which can run wow. Just having a simple portable wow for me when I am out of town working would be so aweome. Yeah I could buy a Laptop for that, but I already have a Switch,Series X, and a PS5.
