Valve has announced that Sony’s PS5 DualSense now supports the beta version of the Steam client, giving those who own the console, and those hoping to get one, an additional place to use their controller.
The introduction of “initial input support” was confirmed in the latest Steam client beta update, which means that it is now possible for those who have opted to beta use their DualSense controller on Steam.
However, it’s not worth it that the patch notes also state that “advanced features like noise, trackpad, and gyroscope are not supported yet.” This means that some of the more unique DualSense features, such as its adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, which are receiving a lot of praise, are not currently supported.
The use of the phrase “not yet” in the patch notes suggests, at the very least, that more comprehensive support could come later, so at some point PC developers and Steam users could take full advantage of these features. . However, nothing is guaranteed.
More to come?
Those with an Xbox Series X may be interested to know that their controller is also compatible with the beta version of the Steam client, and that Valve has now fixed a bug that caused the Xbox Series X controller to appear as two separate controllers.
The PS5 and its DualSense controller have already been released in North America, Australia, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand, while the rest of the world will have access to the console on November 19.
In our review of the PlayStation 5, we noted that the DualSense controller “feels like a revolution over the DualShock 4”, it feels comfortable to hold for long periods with the added bonus of “a monumental improvement” in battery life.
