Just plug it in or connect via Bluetooth. Steam's pretty smart and should pick it up automatically. Start gaming!

Honestly, why bother? Keyboard and mouse all the way. Controllers are overrated.

First up, you're gonna wanna make sure your Xbox controller is either connected via USB or Bluetooth to your PC. Once that's done, fire up Steam and head to the 'Big Picture Mode' - that's the controller-friendly interface. From there, just navigate to the 'Settings' > 'Controller Settings' and you should see your Xbox controller listed. If it's not, double-check your connection or try restarting Steam. And bam, you're all set to game!
