PC Street Fighter V Players Rejoice, Steam Is Getting Official PlayStation 4 Controller Support

For Street Fighter V players on PC, one perennial issue with the game has been its controller support. Simply put, the game lacks support for direct input controllers, forcing some players to find a workaround to play the game. Now however, it seems that an upcoming update to Steam may help alleviate this issue.

At Steam Dev Days, Valve’s Jeff Bellinghausen announced that Steam would be getting official PlayStation 4 controller support. This means that players can use PlayStation 4 controllers in all games on Steam without having to fiddle with third party software.

Now whether or not “PlayStation 4 controllers” mentioned by Bellinghausen at the event refers just to the default DualShock 4 gamepad or to all PS4 controllers in general is unknown. That said, even if it currently just refers to the Dual Shock 4, Bellinghausen mentioned that they would be adding support for even more controllers in the future.
