Just plug it in and most of the time Steam automatically recognizes it. If not, check Steam's 'Big Picture Mode' settings.

Hooking up a controller to Steam is super easy! Just plug your controller into your PC using a USB cable or connect it via Bluetooth. Then, fire up Steam, head to the 'Controller' setting in the 'Big Picture Mode', and follow the on-screen instructions to get it all set up. Steam supports a wide range of controllers, so whether you've got an Xbox, PlayStation, or even a Switch Pro controller, you're good to go!
