Treadmill and Bike Compatibility

When it comes to exercising while enjoying your gaming, ULTRAKILL shines. The game supports controller compatibility, allowing you to run or bike without being tethered to a keyboard and mouse. However, be aware that the fast-paced action demands a good level of coordination and responsiveness, with enemies often requiring quick adjustments and agile maneuvers. If you set your treadmill or bike at reasonable paces, you should manage just fine—but expect to engage those muscles vigorously!
