Steam will soon offer proper DualShock 4 controller support

Valve is preparing to bring native DualShock 4 controller support to Steam, the company announced at Steam Dev Days today.

“Believe it or not, when you use the PS4 Controller through the Steam API, it’s exactly the same as a Steam Controller,” Bellinghausen said (via Gamasutra). “You make the exact same API calls, you only get actions, not inputs, and the Steam API takes care of everything.

“Also, existing native support for the PS4 controller on the PC is a bit weak; in this case Steam itself is communicating directly with the device so everything that’s nice and reliable,” Bellinghausen continued.

We’ll let you know when the feature is available. DualShock 4 support is currently available through services like Joy2Key or PS4Windows.
