Mount and Blade II Bannerlord Controls List for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation

Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord gives players a lot to manage: movement, combat, formations, menus, campaign travel, and photo mode. Learning the controls early makes conquering Calradia slightly less chaotic, though it will not stop cavalry from making poor life choices.

Bannerlord PC Controls and Keybinds

Bannerlord is available on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. PC players can use mouse and keyboard or a controller. Mouse and keyboard provides more shortcuts and generally makes menu navigation easier.

On consoles, controls cannot be remapped inside the game without using console-level settings. On PC, mouse and keyboard controls can be rebound for general actions, but overworld map controls cannot be remapped. Mods may offer additional control tweaks for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord.
