Can I play on my PS3 controller on PC?

[Majster]

I know game is out on PC, Xbox One and PS4, but somehow I wanna play with my only PS3 controller. Just say yes or no cause I cannot do it.

If you can play other games on steam with your ps3 controller it likely won't be a problem.

no you cant. cause its based on the game and not steam what controller you can use and what not

If you use win7 you can use scarlettCrush to emulate a xbox controller ~on win10 it dose not work~.


pavig are you just stupid? let me guess 12y old.

EDIT: Works on Win10

Game works fine with my PS4 controller on PC. Don't see why your PS3 controller wouldn't work, as well.

Do you use any emulator tools and what windows, via cable ore bluetooth?
BTW a Ps3 is not a Ps4 other drivers are needed.

it could still work - i use a xbox 360 controller and it detects it perfectly fine - if it didn't detect it it would still work using xpadder or something - OP should easily be able to use the ps3 controller without much if any hassle

to OP - if it's a matter of whether you buy the game or not, stand by and i will confirm it for you but gonna take a couple days to get a chance to play and dig out the ps3 controller...

A xBox Controller is normal on Windows. Reason: Microsoft dude and not Sony ^^

PS4 controller plugged in via USB2 and no drivers or emulators. Steam sees it and allows it to be used by games. I've used emulator for it in the past, but recent Steam updates to controller support cause it to fight with the emulator for control, so I stopped using the emulator.

The Ps3 Controller will be reg by windows as ps3 but still no function.

I solved it now with Scarlet.Crush so my Ps3 is reg as xBox.

Steam includes controller emulation. You may have to play in big picture mode for steam to automatically translate your controller into generic controller for your game, but if you have that working for other games then it probably works for spintires. Why they don't provide any real settings or documentation for this function and restrict it to big picture mode is a mystery only valve can answer.

You can find it in big pictrure controller settings as "generic controller support". It works for some people and some controllers but not others, and seems to get confused by some virtual xinput drivers like xpadder, so you might have to disable them and only launch via big picture to get it to work. It can actually cause problems if you have games that recognize controllers at a hardware level and mess up your bindings if you launch from big picture mode instead of your steam library. I stopped bothering with it because mixing real xbox controllers with virtual controllers, big picture mode emulation and some games with direct hardware addressing "special needs" meant I had to keep switching drivers on and off and switching in and out of big picture between games. Sticking to generic xbox and ps4 controllers or clones was just less hastle.

But like I said, if the OP can play games on steam with their controller already then it's probably fine.

[Teddy]

Big Picture? Never used cause its freaking cheap and ugly but nice to know.
Thanks to SCP my Controller is now a xBox and I can use it for ever thing microsoft related.

[Rebar77]

I use SCP as well. All games think my PS3 controller is from an Xbox. Works great.
