I don't know about other controllers, but I'm pretty sure Steam supports Sony's controllers in all games that supports controllers. You might have to change some controller options for the game via Steam (not in-game!), but I'm pretty sure that way you can tell Steam to essentially mimic an Xbox controller regardless of what you're using. I recently played Pumpkin Jack using DualShock 4, and the game officially supports only Xbox controllers (support for other controllers is listed as 'not known'). The key prompts look like Xbox buttons in-game, but usually it's not really an issue. |
It's only relatively recently in PC-terms that Sony's controllers have support. (Think: Less than 10 years)
And it's mostly thanks to valve providing the intermediary support.
Many older games will need to use a 3rd party application like DS4Windows to trick the game into thinking it's an Xbox controller that is using Xinput.
One good thing Microsoft has done over the last several decades was its PC xbox controller support while Sony and Nintendo looked the other way... Xbox controllers are just a flawless experience... Not to mention before Microsoft came along, PC controllers were cheap junk from the like of Logitech. |
Absolutely. I think I've had to resort to using DS4Windows (or possibly running the game through Steam) when playing a non-Steam game relatively recently.
I think I also have a Logitech F310 from before Sony's controllers were a thing on PC. I think it was considered a pretty good controller for its price back then, but now that Sony's controllers work fairly well on PC, I don't really want to use it anymore - it's just not as a good.
