1) Update Your Controllers

Updating the controllers regularly is important for PC players as well. This is one step that PC players often tend to skip. Running outdated controller drivers can also be a possible reason as to why you are facing troubles in controller connectivity. If you are using an Xbox controller, you can download and install the latest updates via the Xbox Accessories App. DualSense controller users can do so using the DualSense Firmware Updater app.

2) Try Enabling and Disabling Steam Input

Steam Input is a built-in feature available on Steam that lets you connect your PlayStation or other third-party controllers to your PC. Even though officially only Microsoft controllers are supported on Windows, using Steam Input, you can connect other controllers too. However, if this feature is not already turned on, you will not be able to use your PlayStation controller on PC. To fix this, follow these steps:

  • Launch the Steam application on your PC.
  • Click on Steam on the top left side of the app’s UI.
  • Go to the Controller settings.
  • Scroll down and locate the Steam Input option.
  • Enable Steam Input by checking the box beside the option.

Moreover, do make sure to turn this feature off if you are using an Xbox controller. If you are already using an Xbox controller and still has this feature turned on, it can often lead to glitches and compatibility issues.
