Steam can map DualSense input in supported PC games. Check whether the game uses native PlayStation support or Steam Input, because prompts and advanced features can differ.

How to check or set it up
- Pair DualSense to the PC by Sony’s supported USB or Bluetooth route.
- Inspect Steam Input for that game and compare it with the game’s native DualSense support.
- Check haptics, adaptive triggers, and PlayStation button prompts individually.
