Cairn is out on PC and consoles, and the first task for you is to master the controls.
The ascent to the top of the mountain isn’t going to be easy. You can choose to do so with your PC keyboard and mouse, or you can use a controller. If you’re on the PS5, there’s no option to use a keyboard and mouse.
Let’s look at all the default controls that you’ll want to add to your muscle memory.
