Taiko No Tatsujin’s drum controller has been made specifically to be played with Rhythm Festival. There are PlayStation and Xbox versions of the controller, both of which are compatible with the PC version of the game.
The arrival of Rhythm Festival on more major platforms will bookend a good year for rhythm game fans that began with the return of the guitar controller. The arrival of Fortnite Festival brought with it a promise that the guitar controller would be making a comeback, and that promise was fulfilled.PDP created the Riffmaster, a guitar controller that’s compatible with Fortnite Festival and Rock Band 4. We’re still waiting for the rest ofRock Band’s peripherals to return, but until then, Taiko No Tatsujin has your virtual drumming needs covered.
