How to Enable PlayStation Controller Support in STEAM Settings (Best Method)
3Enabling PlayStation controller support in Steam is crucial for getting the best experience with a DualShock 4 or DualSense controller on PC. By enabling this feature, you allow Steam's "Steam Input" system to properly recognize your controller, translate its inputs for various games, and, in many cases, display the correct PlayStation button prompts (Square, Cross, Circle, Triangle) in supported games.
The best and most reliable method is to configure the support directly within Steam's settings.
The Best Method: Using Steam's Controller Settings
Connect Your Controller:
Wired: Plug your PlayStation controller into your PC using a USB cable.
Wireless (Bluetooth): On your PC, go to your Bluetooth settings and add a new device. On your controller, hold the PS button and the Share button (on DualShock 4) or Create button (on DualSense) simultaneously until the light bar begins to flash. Your PC should detect it as a "Wireless Controller." Select it to pair.
Open Steam: Launch the Steam desktop client.
Go to Settings:
Click on "Steam" in the top-left corner of the window.
Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
Navigate to the Controller Menu:
In the "Settings" window, click on the "Controller" tab on the left-hand side.
Open General Controller Settings:
Click the "GENERAL CONTROLLER SETTINGS" button. This will open a new, full-screen window that is part of Steam's Big Picture Mode interface.
Enable PlayStation Configuration Support:
In the "General Controller Settings" window, you will see a list of controller types. Find and check the box next to "PlayStation Configuration Support."
Confirm Your Controller:
After checking the box, your connected PlayStation controller should appear in the "Detected Controllers" section. You can click on it to access additional options, such as naming it, adjusting the rumble, and changing the light bar color.
