Controller support on Steam is a great way for PC players to use their favorite console peripherals while heading into modding paradise. It’s great for accessibility,<\/a> it’s great for games that have specific controls like racing titles and basically any Assassin’s Creed adventure, and it’s also just a nice option for those looking to play beyond the keyboard and mouse experience. With the PlayStation 5 out now (for most), Steam has added PS5 DualSense controller support in the beta phase. <\/p>\n

The most recent Steam Client Beta, which is used to test new features and fixes, includes “initial input support” for the PlayStation 5-specific DualSense controller.<\/a> Before you get too excited, the features that have PlayStation fans raving about the new controller such as haptics, gyro functionality, and more are not yet supported.
