You can control games on Steam using a variety of different methods. The latest to be added is Sony's DualSense controller, which comes with the PS5.

DualSense Compatibility Added to Steam

It has been confirmed, via a Steamworks Development announcement, that the PlayStation 5's DualSense control pad is now fully compatible with Steam.

The console has only been available for a short time. Already PS5 gamers are heading to Steam to see if their joypad works with the popular gaming platform.

Well, now it does. You simply have to select the DualSense as your controller within Steam's settings menu and away you go.

Are Other Controllers Compatible With Steam?

Steam, for some time, has allowed players to use different third-party controllers to play games.

PC joypads have always worked with the platform, and players can obviously use a mouse and keyboard to play their favorite titles.

The Sony PlayStation's DualShock 4 and Nintendo Switch Pro controllers also work with Steam, so it isn't as though you are short of control options if you want to play games via the service.

What Does DualSense Compatibility Bring to Steam?

If you intend to use your DualSense controller to play Steam games, then you get the full functionality of the device within the platform.

Essentially, everything that the DualSense controller can do on a PS5, it can do on Steam games too.

So, games such as Death Stranding, when played via Steam, make use of the DualSense's full suite of features. This includes the gyro, the LED, the trackpad, and even the rumble settings - very important in games where your senses need to be on full alert.

Now You Can Use Your DualSense Controller With Steam

These features are available straight away. So, if you are curious, just head to Steam, fire it up, and test how your DualSense works with the games.

Steam is a safe, convenient, and (most of all) fun way to experience games, so it makes sense that it keeps up with all of the latest controllers. This way it keeps the brand current.
