Disney Dreamlight Valley Makes Helpful Change for Controller Players

Key Takeaways

  • Disney Dreamlight Valley has introduced an Edit Mode control scheme toggle for controller players.
  • The new option allows players to revert to the game’s old free-flowing cursor, or use the new hybrid variant that is fixed in place by default.
  • The change was plausibly motivated by some recent player complaints about the new cursor style.

As a seasoned gamer with years of experience under my belt, I must say that the latest update for Disney Dreamlight Valley has been a breath of fresh air. The addition of an Edit Mode control scheme toggle is a welcome change, especially for controller players like myself. The new option to revert to the old free-flowing cursor or use the new hybrid variant that’s fixed in place by default is a game-changer.

In the recent significant update for Disney Dreamlight Valley, named Jungle Getaway, players now have the option to switch between two control schemes for Edit Mode. They can opt for the classic cursor style or the new controller-friendly fixed pointer.

I was thrilled to join in the fun when Jungle Getaway made its grand entrance in Disney Dreamlight Valley on October 9! This exciting launch brought none other than Timon and Pumbaa from The Lion King into the game’s ever-expanding cast of villagers. Along with these jovial companions, this update also rolled out a host of fresh content, squashed some bugs, and even tinkered with the gameplay mechanics for an enhanced experience!

Disney Dreamlight Valley Adds ‘New Edit Mode Controls’ Toggle

In a recent tweet, Gameloft showcased a new feature for Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Edit Mode – Jungle Getaway introduces an alternate control scheme. Now, players can switch between a moving cursor and one that stays fixed in the center of the screen. This option is exclusive to controller users, and it can be adjusted by going to the Controls section on the Settings menu and toggling the “New Edit Mode Controls”.

In this new setup, the cursor is automatically placed at the screen center, but it’s designed as a mix of control methods. This means you can still move the cursor by pressing an extra button. The main difference lies in the default behavior of the pointer. Gameloft seems to have adopted this change due to feedback from players who voiced their concerns in late June 2024, shortly after the Lucky Dragon update for Disney Dreamlight Valley, which replaced the old cursor with a hybrid one that not all players found appealing.

As a gamer in 2024, I’ve noticed some exciting updates to the Edit Mode of my favorite game. For instance, the Lucky Dragon patch introduced a nifty feature that lets me swiftly duplicate furniture items. Moreover, it enhanced camera movement adaptability – moving faster when I zoom out and slower when I zoom in. This tweak has made the camera more precise and less laggy overall.

After the introduction of Edit Mode controls, Disney Dreamlight Valley has recently been updated with a hotfix for its PlayStation version on October 11th. This minor update includes improvements aimed at addressing some visual hiccups and lagging that players on PS4 and PS5 have experienced. Given Gameloft’s history, it’s possible we might see more hotfixes soon as the developer often works on fixing bugs and performance issues post-release of major Disney Dreamlight Valley updates.
