  Not all work properly.

  Pretty much any game with a launcher or a splash screen won’t work right.

    That’s not entirely accurate at all. I’ve yet to have a single title not work even if launched outside of steam (but added as a game within steam).

      Gamepass baby. The only ones I can’t get working. Have to use third party tool to convert steam input to xinput device.

      I however don’t bother since I also own an Xbox Elite 2 controller with a wireless adapter that works natively in any gamepass title.

      I ran into a whole list of games I wanted to play that don’t work right when I tried last.

      Off the top of my head I know Forza Horizon 5 from the microsoft store doesn’t work. Being from the MS store has nothing to do with it, it’s the splash screen. The controller works great for the 5 seconds it’s up. But when the game actually opens then steam input decides to stop working, even though steam knows the game is still open. Valve could easily fix this by just applying steam input forever until the program quits. But they don’t. So if I want too play that game I need to use a 3rd party steam input wrapper just to make the damn controller act as a controller.

    Luckily, GOG games don’t have those extra DRM launchers
