Steam update brings good news for PlayStation controllers
In a recent update, Valve Corporation's video game digital distribution platform, Steam, has made a significant change that will please PlayStation owners. The update allows gamers with PlayStation's DualSense and DualShock controllers to easily find and play games that fully support these controllers on their PC. This update not only improves accessibility but also introduces changes in navigating the platform.
Improved Controller Support and Navigation
With this update, Steam has introduced a dedicated Controller-Hub page that enables users to search for games based on the type of controller they have, including Xbox, DualSense, DualShock, or all of them. This feature makes it easier for gamers to discover titles that are compatible with their preferred controller. Additionally, the search function has also been updated to include these controller filters, making it more convenient to find games.
Furthermore, the library page now allows users to filter their own game collection based on the controllers they support. This makes it effortless for gamers to organize and access their games according to their controller preferences. Valve has also made changes to the store pages for each title, providing information about which controllers are compatible with the game. It also indicates whether the game has full or partial controller support.
Understanding Controller Support
Steam also clarifies the concept of full and partial controller support. Full controller support means that the game allows players to perform all common actions and interactions that are typically expected from a controller. On the other hand, partial controller support may display incorrect button icons, but it still allows players to use the controller for gameplay.
Enhancing the Gaming Experience
This latest update from Steam is a welcome change for PC gamers who prefer using PlayStation controllers. It not only makes it easier to find games that are compatible with these controllers but also provides a more seamless and enjoyable gaming experience. By expanding controller support, Steam aims to help gamers discover and enjoy a wider range of titles that support PlayStation's controllers.
With the growing popularity of gaming on PC with a controller, this update comes at the right time, catering to the increasing number of players who prefer PlayStation controllers. Whether it's exploring vast open worlds, engaging in intense multiplayer battles, or immersing oneself in captivating story-driven experiences, Steam's updated controller support ensures that PC gamers can now fully utilize their PlayStation controllers for an enhanced gaming experience.
