How to configure a controller on Steam

Best Answer

Just plug it in and Steam usually figures it out. If not, use Big Picture Mode. Honestly, it's 2023, if Steam can't auto-recognize your controller, are you even gaming?

It's pretty easy to configure a controller on Steam. Just plug in your controller, open Steam, go to 'Big Picture Mode' (the controller icon at the top-right), select 'Settings' > 'Controller Settings' and you'll see options to configure your controller. Steam supports a lot of different controllers, so you should be good to go!
