Steam just made life easier for PC gamers who use a PS5 DualSense controller
24.11.2023 - 19:27 / techradar.com
If you’re a PC gamer who uses a PS5 DualSense controller, then we have some good news courtesy of Valve.
Namely, Steam now caters to this particular controller in more depth, showing which games support the DualSense (as well as the DualShock and Xbox gamepads).
Valve pointed out in an announcement that the controller-friendly hub in Steam now offers an option to filter games by support for any of these controllers (or indeed multiple controllers, should you wish).
So, if you want to see what supports the PlayStation 5’s nifty DualSense controller, all you have to do is click that filter and explore the results.
Another smart touch is that by default, Steam will filter games based on the controller you’ve recently been playing with.
The search function on Steam has also had filters added so you can narrow down the results based on a controller, or you can specify finding games with full controller support (or titles where a gamepad is even preferred).
Furthermore, in your personal games library, any products that do support a controller you’ve used are flagged as such, to bring your attention to this when browsing your games collection just in case you might have missed that. There are also controller filters present here.
If you’ve been mulling over buying a DualSense controller, it’s worth noting that one of the top Black Friday deals we’ve seen is a big discount on these pads (and on some great alternative controllers to boot).
There’s a lot of tweaking to Steam’s interface here, and all of these are really nice touches for PC gamers who happen to have a PS5 and use the DualSense for some titles on Windows. (Or indeed folks who’ve just bought a DualSense for their PC full-stop – and yes, there are gamers who have done this, though note that you aren’t quite getting the full PS5 experience with the nifty bits like the adaptive triggers, though they still work).
How many players use a console controller to play PC games on Steam? Valve also shared some data on this very topic, and we’re told that 12% of the active player base regularly use a controller, so roughly one in eight. Of course, controllers dominate in some games, such as ball sports where predictably enough the majority (over 80%) are using a gamepad. Somewhat more surprisingly, Valve says that with some popular RPGs over half the players are on a controller.

Steam reviews suggest The Day Before’s launch is off to a rough start
The Day Before Launched today, two-and-a-half hours ago at the time of writing. I really have no interest in it. I didn’t even know it existed until today, and my job is to keep up with this stuff. However, that’s probably for the best because it already has around 1900 negative reviews on Steam out of 2200.

Masahiro Sakurai Asked For Key Addition To Nintendo Gamecube Controller
Recently, Hideki Kamiya noted that every main developer in the video game world has a different style and way of viewing things, and that’s why many of them can’t work together on certain projects. Masahiro Sakurai is definitely one of those people, as he’s had many views of the gaming world via his experiences, and he’s tried his best to express those views in the “Creating Games” series on YouTube. In his latest video, he revealed that there have been times when Nintendo has come to him for advice not on software but on hardware. And one of his biggest pieces of advice is something they still haven’t done to this day.

Forspoken on PS5 Is Down to Just £10 at Amazon for a Limited Time
Amazon in the UK has dropped Forspoken on PlayStation 5 to just £9.99 (see here). This is a huge £50 drop from the original £59.99 RRP, and a reasonably good deal in the post-Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. We did already see this deal a couple of weeks back, but the stock didn't last too long, so not many of us got the opportunity to pick the game up at such a discount.

You can now use a DualSense with your PS1 and PS2 for less thanks to Cyber Monday
I love retro controllers, but even I'm eager to get my hands on 8bitdo's Retro Receiver for PS1 and PS2. As much as I'm into hardware preservation, I can't blame anyone for wanting to play retro PlayStation games with a modern gamepad. So, rather than trying to use a pad that has been the victim of FIFA rage throughout the years, you'll want to pick the receiver up while it's cheaper for Cyber Monday.
