How to Connect a PS4 Controller on Steam

Are you tired of using traditional controllers and want to experience gaming with a PlayStation controller instead? Look no further! Connecting your DualShock 4 to Windows 10 is easier than you think, and we're here to guide you through the process.

First things first, make sure that your DualShock 4 is fully charged or has enough battery life. Sometimes, installing the original BT drivers and disabling the power-saving functions for the controller in its properties in the device manager can help with the connection. Keep in mind that some users have reported issues with Bluetooth connectivity on computers and laptops, so we'll provide you with an alternative method as well.

Method 1: Connecting via Bluetooth

To connect your DualShock 4 to Windows 10 using Bluetooth:

1. On your PC, go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & Other Devices.

2. Click on the 'Add a device' button and select 'Bluetooth'.

3. Your DualShock 4 will then enter Bluetooth pairing mode, and the indicator on it will start flashing white.

4. Press and hold the Share button on your controller while pressing and holding the PlayStation button.

5. If prompted for a code, enter 0000 (four zeros).

Method 2: Connecting via USB Cable

Alternatively, you can connect your DualShock 4 to Windows 10 using a USB cable:

1. Simply plug in the controller with a USB cable.

2. The controller will be automatically detected as a 'Wireless Controller' in the device manager and in the list of devices in the 'Parameters'.

That's it! You should now be able to use your DualShock 4 on Windows 10, whether you're playing Far Cry 6 or any other game.
