PS4 Controller support.
Ok, I've searched here, forums and all over Google so I'm gonna just ask here. I just got PC Game Pass, is there any way to play this game with a PS4 controller. I've tried Ds4 and it doesn't work. Do not suggest using an Xbox controller unless you are going to buy it for me. I have never played an Xbox in my life. I have played Playstation since PS1. I really wanted to play this game but unfortunately its looking like I'm not going to be able to. If no one can help I'll just get Game Pass refunded and pretend this game doesn't exist. Can anyone help? PLEASE!

-unless you want to try the controller hook from steam ofc; then you need to open big picture mode and learn how to set up the controller + layout under 'desktop mode' IIRC.

Might be able to set steam as "generic gamepad" and get it to work that way.
(open steam big picture mode and look through the controller options)

As the game natively supports my controller, i have to turn off steam input tho.

Tried that. It's not through Steam it's through GAME PASS, but thanks anyway.

If you have steam running it can still hijack the controller input.

So have Steam running in the background while I have Game Pass open and the game? Is that what you're saying?

That worked. I still get Xbox prompts but I'll figure that out in time. Thank you so much.

or buy a good controller like Xbox... just an FYI... controller layouts are identical minus the D-pad and Thumbstick

I already got my answer and again unless YOU are PERSONALLY going to buy me one don't suggest that I clearly stated that in the OP.
