This isn’t a system-wide DS4 driver so it’ll only work within Steam. It does have one big drawback, though:īig Picture Mode and controller functionality are intrinsically tied to Steam. Because of how easy it is to set up, and because it’s the closest we have to “official” support for the DS4 on Windows, Steam Big Picture Mode is our personal recommendation as a DS4Windows alternative. And, of course, you can remap buttons to your heart’s content.
You can use the touchpad as a PC mousepad. You can set it up to use the gyroscope for motion aiming. After that, you just connect your DS4 wireless dongle to your PC and that’s it.īig Picture mode lets you customize your DS4 extensively. Next, open the steam app and get into Big Picture Mode, then enable PS4 Configuration Support in the controller config. That flashing indicates the controller is now in pairing mode. Hold down the PlayStation button and the Share button on your DS4 controller until you see the light bar start repeatedly flashing. The setup process is refreshingly simple. So instead of keeping the Steam Controller’s unique functionality exclusive, they opened up Big Picture Mode support for every mainstream controller, including the DS4. Unfortunately, it was too little, too late. I started using it again a few months ago and the experience has matured considerably. I had a hairpulling – frustrating time with my Steam controller and shelved it for over a year. It was an utter market failure since the software was buggy and unreliable at launch. Valve, the company behind Steam, launched their own controller a few years ago called the Steam Controller. There’s an interesting story behind this. If you’re a Steam user with a PS4 controller, you’re in luck: Steam’s much-maligned Big Picture Mode was updated a while back with native support for the DS4, Xbox One controller, the Switch Pro controller, and generic USB controllers.
