Trials of Mana adds in controller support and achievements in surprise new update

Author : Olivia Apr 09,2025

Square Enix continues to enhance its mobile gaming offerings, with the latest update to Trials of Mana bringing significant improvements. The 3D action RPG, beloved by JRPG enthusiasts, now supports controllers and includes achievements on both the standard and Apple Arcade versions for iOS. This update arrives at a perfect time, following the release of Visions of Mana last year and its collaboration with Last Cloudia, highlighting Square Enix's commitment to the Mana series.

The addition of controller support addresses a common issue with mobile games: the often cumbersome touch controls. Many fans have expressed frustration with the 3D controls on mobile devices, which can deter them from fully enjoying titles like Trials of Mana. While the touchpad controls are functional for most, the new controller support is a welcome change that could bring more players into the fold.

Unfortunately, there's no word yet on whether Android users will receive the same update, though it's hoped that it will be available soon. For those who have been hesitant to dive into Trials of Mana due to control issues, this update is a great opportunity to experience the game's lush visuals and engaging gameplay.
