Using PS5 Controller, showing XBOX buittons in game

[lonelyphoenix7]

I'm trying to use my PS5 controller to play Final Fantasy XII, but all of the button prompts are showing as XBOX prompts. I've tried making sure only the default controller settings are on (Which include Playstation Steam Input), and that only shows XBOX prompts. When disabling Steam Input completely, the controller won't work with the game at all. Anybody have other ideas?

Steam tends to default to Xbox inputs, because.... reasons. It has nothing to do with Microsoft and Sony being competitors and Microsoft bending over Sony peripherals when used on Windows. Absolutely nothing to do with it.

I'm not sure if this can be fixed without mods. I've just been living with the Xbox prompts while using a PS controller for years.

I had this issue with other Final Fantasy games specifically (Final Fantasy X being the last one) but I did manage to get the settings right to display PS buttons. And the settings are exactly the same for these two games, so still not sure why it doesn't work.

exact same issue as OP (dualsense and still xbox buttons showing)

i just wish more games would be put PS/Xbox/Switch.... buttons as a option

The game displays the controller icons depending on whether it detects Dinput or Xinput. Dinput = Playstation, Xinput = Xbox. The only way to force it to display Playstation icons is with mods. You can get a lua script (requires the lua loader) here: https://github.com/Xeavin/The-Insurgents-Graveyard

Same exact issue here. Was this ever solved?

The issue was resolved for me by turning off Steam Input for the game's controller options (in the Properties menu when you R-click the game's name).

Usually the solution for this is mods
