Windows/Mac/Linux: The PS4 controller is a pretty popular Bluetooth controller, but for whatever reason, getting it to play nice with Windows has always been a bit of a chore. Steam is making that a little easier with a new feature in its beta version that brings along PS4 controller support.




Once you get your PS4 controller set up (you might need a dongle from Sony if it doesn’t work out of the box), you’ll be able to map not only the buttons, but also the trackpad a gyro to just about anything you want. Games can also directly support the controller if they want, which would potentially add a handful of features. The PS4 controller gets access to everything the Steam Controller does, so you might be able to finagle it as a replacement if you’re not a fan of the official controller. This is all still in beta, but it’s working pretty well all things considered. You can grab the client by opting into the beta.
