Valve's message to developers comes through pretty clear: Most games that are being played with a PlayStation controller on Steam are currently using Steam's default input services.Purchase the bundle now to receive all soundtracks and wallpapers from FF1-6! Bear in mind that's data which Valve says is typical, not the global averages as in the case of PlayStation controllers. The report does not provide the global average for Xbox controllers, but in the above "typical example" of usage, 68 percent of users are on Xbox pads and Valve describes this as "pretty common for a lot of games." This is obviously beermat maths, but Valve's figures suggest more than triple the number of PC players are using Xbox pads than PlayStation.īringing up the rear in Valve's example breakdown are the Switch Pro Controller (4 percent) and Steam's own pad (2 percent) with "other controllers" accounting for 4 percent. The report then offers what Valve describes as "a fairly typical graph" showing the controller breakdown among users. That is, Valve believes these figures show that more PC developers need to take controller support more seriously: "in general, a lot of players like to play a large cross section of games on Steam with a controller-which is something many people, including those of us at Valve, find a bit surprising." The interesting aspect of this developer update beyond the figures ( such as the fact controller usage on Steam has doubled in the last two years) is that Valve is better-informing developers about the tools Steam offers to customise controller support (beyond using the built-in API). Naturally these figures vary wildly across genre: for RTS games that figure is "frequently below 1 percent" whereas "many sports and fighting games see over 70 percent of sessions played with a controller, while racing and skating games can easily have over 90 percent of players using a controller." Third-person action games, your Assassin's Creeds and so on, fluctuate between 40-50 percent of players using controllers, while for FPSs it's "solidly in the range of 7-8 percent."
