PS5 controller showing Xbox buttons (DS5/Dualshock 5)

[jet]

I've tried a number of games, steam and non-steam, that support xbox and PS controlled button art, however it only shows xbox buttons. I've tried enable/disable all the gamepad settings.
Is this expected?

For non-steam games, use the disabled profile for desktop.

Disable EVERYTHING in General Controller Support. Everything. Even PS controller support.

If games need PS controller support to run properly, override controller settings on a per-game basis.

This is still a problem, God of war keeps showing me xbox buttons as do many other games

disable steam input for specific games

The long and the short of it still is that unless the game natively supports PS4/5 controllers, it will continue showing xbox buttons. Turning everything off does nothing.

This is the long and short of it. Over a year later...nothing. Seems like an easy for Valve and many people use PS5 controllers.
Some games that support PS4 controllers can have issues with PS5 controllers as well.

At least Valve acknowledges and have attempted to fix issues regarding the DualSense. They don't even care about fixing the Steam client UI.

It is ridiculous. Some games, like Control, allow for native PS5 controller support. The quality of life increase is amazing! But again, this is still rare.

You should tell the developer of the game.

For the game to display Playstation buttons glyphs, there are only 3 ways:
- Use Steam Input API
- Support the controllers natively (in this case, disable Steam Input)
- Provide a setting in the game where the button prompts are changed to the PS glyphs regardless of controller

All of these has to be done by the developers, there is nothing Valve can do.

Valve made the bridge. They can't force anyone to take it.

There is nothing to say. Some of these games are incredibly old so an update or new provision for PS4/5 controllers isn't likely. I think you've misunderstood my post as I've mentioned all of these "fixes" before.

I always assumed this was a problem with Windows and game support... but using Xbox PC Game Pass for the last month and EVERY game I've played on there shows PS controls. I haven't done a lot of testing, but I'm pretty sure this is working better over there. Microsoft got something right.

I use ps5 controller and work with all games,just use preset or set is on you...Maybe Steam + Sony make support for ps5 dualsense on pc...

It has nothing to do with Microsoft. It's that games nowadays have native support for PS controllers but only through USB. No bluetooth. Steam Input is an added layer on top of that that for most games emulates Xinput which means you'll see Xbox icons, however, it also works over bluetooth which is why I use it.

If you play the same games on Steam as on Game Pass and disable Steam Input while playing connected over USB, you will see the correct button prompts there as well. This will, however, limit you to games that actually have native support for those controllers and not every game does.

Try disabling Steam Input (not disabling support for a controller type, just disable Steam input for that game entirely), I did that on Fall Guys and it actually showed Playstation Buttons for my DS4!

disabling steam input works for a ps4 controller but for some reason doesn't work for the ps5 any idea why?

Because it depends on the game. If it's an older game that only supports the PS4 controller then it won't work with the PS5 controller.
