When Stellaris: Console Edition launches on Feb. 26 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, it will be the first grand strategy game ever released for modern consoles. So how do you fit such a notoriously fiddly format onto a controller? The team at Paradox started by tearing down the entire user interface, and then rebuilding it with the help of the experts at Tantalus Media, the same team responsible for the port of city-builder Cities: Skylines.

“I’m very surprised and very happy with how it actually works,” Paradox game director Daniel Moregård told Polygon in an interview last week. “Most of our job has been feedbacking it, giving pointers, and making sure that the controls never lie to you and are always accurate.”
