How to Change Sensitivity in Hyper Light Breaker

Want to adjust the sensitivity in Hyper Light Breaker? Given the game's fast-paced action, precise controls are crucial. Unfortunately, there's no in-game sensitivity setting at present. This is a known issue the developers, Heart Machine, are actively addressing, with plans to include a fix in a future update. They've confirmed this on Bluesky, along with other performance and accessibility improvements.

This is excellent news, making it advisable to wait for the official patch. However, if you're eager to play now, there are workarounds:

Workarounds for Adjusting Sensitivity

Mouse and Keyboard: The simplest solution is to adjust your mouse DPI. Increase the DPI in your mouse's hardware settings or through software, effectively boosting in-game sensitivity. Remember, this change affects your entire system's mouse responsiveness.

Controller (DS4): If using a DualShock 4 controller, utilize DS4 software to modify joystick sensitivity. This adjusted sensitivity will translate to the game. Alternatively, configure your right joystick to function as a mouse, then adjust the sensitivity as described above.

Steam Forums Method (Advanced): For technically inclined players, a more involved method is detailed in a Steam community post by user ErkBirk. This involves directly modifying game files via the Windows Run command. We recommend this only for users comfortable with such adjustments, as it's less straightforward.

In short, patience is key. The developers are working on a proper solution. Until then, these workarounds provide temporary adjustments.

Hyper Light Breaker is available now.
