How to install DS4Windows for non-steam gaming If you want to play games that aren't on Steam with your DualShock 4, DS4Windows is the tool for you. To start we'll walk you through getting your PS4 controller working with Steam. In fact, if Steam is your go-to, native Steam support makes it just as plug-and-play as an Xbox gamepad. It takes a little bit more work to get the DualShock 4 working on PC, but things are made easier thanks to Steam, the PC gaming community, and an official (optional) Bluetooth dongle. Unfortunately, the DualShock 4's use of generic DirectInput drivers-as opposed to XInput that the Xbox controllers use-means using a PS4 controller on PC isn't quite as easy as plugging in an Xbox gamepad. The design retains the classic shape of the DualShock controller, but includes joysticks and triggers better suited to modern shooters and action games than its predecessor-though not as sensationally exciting as the PS5's DualSense controller. Of all the options out there, the PS4 controller has become one of the team's favourite PC gaming controllers, not least because it feels great in your hands.
