    Tbh (I’m being a party pooper) I’ve never seen it referred to as anything other than press any key specifically for this reason haha.

        Is that pc or console - I ask because pcs have keyboards with keys and consoles have controllers with buttons

          It’s PC using an Xbox controller, which is the best way of playing any game that lets you IMO.

          But the game has no idea what kind of button I’m gonna push since the keyboard and mouse are connected too and I’ve yet to press any key or other button at this point 🤷

            Technically both PC and console can tell what you have loaded/connected by the drivers in use (maybe other ways too) so it may switch if you unplug the Xbox controller but if it’s a game they expected to be primarily on console, or played with controller they’ll elect to use that verbiage.

            But for pc games and stuff regularly played on keyboard, devs choose to use the press any key language (generally).

            It might seem silly but UI Devs put a lot of time and effort into making things easy to understand and use and whatnot.

            It’s just a meme tho nbd, just figured I’d bring up the convo piece anyway
