How to Use a PS4 Controller on Steam with Remote Play

Are you tired of using keyboard and mouse controls for gaming on Steam? With Remote Play, you can use your PS4 controller to play games on your computer or laptop. In this article, we will walk you through the steps to set up and use a PS4 controller on Steam.

First, make sure that your Windows PC meets the system requirements. You'll need at least a 5th Generation Intel Core processor or later, as well as a high-speed internet connection with upload and download speeds of at least 5 Mbps. Additionally, you should always update your PS4 console to the latest version of the system software.

To set up Remote Play on Steam, follow these steps:

1. Go to the function screen on your PS4 console and select 'Remote Play Connection Settings.'

2. Turn on the Remote Play feature by selecting the toggle switch.

3. You'll need to create a Remote Play account if you don't already have one. Log in with the same account that you use for your PS4 console.

4. Download the Remote Play app from the Steam store and run the installation file.

5. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the app, and agree to the SIE application end user license agreement and privacy policy.

Once you've installed the app, you'll need to connect your Windows PC and controller with a USB cable. If you don't have an account, you'll need to create one first.

For best performance, we recommend using a high-speed connection with upload and download speeds of at least 15 Mbps. You can also use a DUALSHOCK4 USB wireless adaptor if you prefer not to connect your controller with a USB cable.

That's it! With these simple steps, you should be able to use your PS4 controller on Steam with Remote Play. Enjoy playing your favorite games with the comfort and precision of a gamepad.
