Xbox Controllers will Work with all Games, with or without Native Support Built in
Steamโs latest update is adding is adding expanded controller functionality to their entire library of games. Users will have the ability to use Xbox One or Xbox 360 controllers with any of Steamโs games, native support notwithstanding.
The updateโs patch notes reveal that Steam will attempt โautomatic conversionโ to Xbox-style controls, but will allow users to map their own controls for any game with Steamโs configuration tools.
If youโre opted in to Steamโs โBeta Participationโ system, the update is available now. There is no date set for the final release, though itโs easy enough to access the beta, requiring only a quick trip through the menu.
If youโre not an Xbox user, worry not: PS4 controllers are already compatible with the Steam library, having received a similar update last year.
Also included in this update is support for โthird party PS4 controllers, including some HORI, MadCatz, and Armor pads and fight sticks.โ With Steamโs growing library of fighting games, this is a welcome addition.
