Okay im an idiot aparently. I just started the game and can not figure out how to use the health potions for the ps4?

If you're using the default controls, then hold down the square button. Tapping the square rotates consumables. This gives you a little flexibility to cancel out mid swig if you need.

Hold down the square button.

lol ffs TY! love you guys. game on.

@lusence: Same goes for the spells by the way: tap to cycle, hold to cast.
