📋 About This Mod
Monster Hunter: World - Switch Pro Controller Prompts v1. 1 - Iceborne compatible
Tested and working with game build 399335. Please note I don't have a Switch Pro Controller and did this mod purely on request by some people and based on images of the controller. Some buttons might be wrongly assigned. Let me know and I'll fix it.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,147 endorsements and over 32k downloads
- Exactly what it says: swaps Xbox prompts for Switch ones, no bloat
- Iceborne-ready so you don't have to worry about the expansion breaking it
⚠️ Cons
- Only changes prompts, not button mappings—you'll still need to set up your controller in-game
- Last updated in 2020, so it might not work with future game updates
- No preview images or detailed instructions, so you're flying blind until you install it
For Monster Hunter: World players who use a Switch Pro Controller and want the on-screen prompts to match their muscle memory. It's purely cosmetic, so skip it if you're looking for gameplay tweaks or controller remapping.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure your Switch Pro Controller is set up in Steam's controller settings before launching the game.
- If prompts don't change, verify the mod is placed in the correct 'nativePC' folder—most MHW mods go there.
- Since it's Iceborne-ready, it should work with the base game too, but test it after major game updates.
