Controls and Movement — Abzu Guide

Learn the basic controls for swimming, boosting, interacting, and meditating in Abzu to navigate its underwater world.

Abzu's controls are intuitive and designed for fluid underwater movement. You'll primarily use a few buttons to swim, interact, and meditate. Mastering these will allow you to gracefully glide through the ocean.

• Swim: Left Analog Stick (move), Right Analog Stick (camera).
• Boost: Hold L2/LT (console) or Shift (PC) to accelerate. This is crucial for keeping up with faster fish and covering long distances.
• Interact: Press X/A (console) or E (PC) to interact with objects, release fish, or activate mechanisms.
• Meditate: Press Triangle/Y (console) or Q (PC) to enter a meditative state, allowing you to observe the surrounding marine life.
• Call: Press Square/X (console) or F (PC) to call out, which can sometimes attract nearby fish or activate certain environmental elements.
