Steam adds native ps4 controller support and 4k game streaming

The latest Steam update prepares for the holiday season by adding several cool features. Anyone who enjoys using their PS4 controller to play on PC should know that they now receive full support in Big Picture mode. With this, the PS4 controller can be configured in the same way that a Steam controller is configured, with native API support and button mapping throughout the platform. You can even use the gyroscope and touchpad and map various functions to them.

You could already play on Steam with the Dualshock 4…

That's right, until now third-party software could be used for Windows to recognize the PS4 controller and map it to the Xbox controller. Even so, the active configuration was not dependent on the game in question and many functions were not recognized. It is now possible to configure the Dualshock 4 controller for the entire Steam platform and optionally change to the particular configuration of the game if it is available for the PS4 controller.

At the moment many games have not released their configurations for the Dualshock controller because they have been developed with the Xbox controller in mind, but given how widespread the PS4 controller is, most will soon patch it.

You can also control the color and intensity of the LED on the remote, which is interesting both for those who want to curl the curl by giving it information, and for those who are bothered by a color or intensity that is too strong.

4K streaming

Various patches for streaming between devices that reaches up to 4K resolution, if our router and network are up to it. More options are now available with higher bandwidth, bugs have been patched and support has been added for NvFBC, the game capture mode by hardware, with the new Nvidia driver. Everything to provide a better gaming experience.
