PS5 controller now supported on Steam



Public beta testers can try it out; wider release coming later



The PlayStation 5’s new controller — the DualSense — now works on Steam. Valve announced the controller support over the weekend. It’s available to players who have opted into the public beta for Steam’s desktop client, with the wider release coming soon.

DualSense support comes courtesy of an update to the Steam client itself, meaning any game using the Steam Input API can now use the DualSense. “No developer updates required, it just works,” says Valve. Developers can include the DualSense’s LED, trackpad, rumble, and gyro features, and players can configure them for PC versions of PlayStation 4 games like Death Stranding and Horizon: Zero Dawn.

As for whether players actually use a gamepad for their Steam games, Valve says yes, they kinda do! “In the past two years, the number of daily average users playing a Steam game with a controller has more than doubled,” Valve said. “Some games, such as skateboarding games, have well over 90% of their players using controllers in game.”


The growth in gamepad use is especially high among PlayStation controllers, which has gone from 10.9% of controller-played games to 21.6% in the past two years.

The DualSense arrived with the PlayStation 5 on Nov. 12; our review called it “a literal game changer” thanks to its new haptics, “adaptive triggers” whose resistance can mimic in-game effort, and the use of its internal speaker to supplement world audio.



@CerebralTiger @Major Aly when their own controller bites the dust :p, last i saw was 2 black fridays ago the steam controller was going for as low as like 15$ :p

    I have heard that it is now unplayable in countries which do not support handful of third world countries not recognized by Sony like Pakistan. Steam is a true global platform.Then they cry that console gaming is dying.

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
