Even Steam users prefer Xbox’s controller to PlayStation’s
As Steam adds new features and controller support to its Steam Input service, the PC gaming platform has given players a peak at the numbers behind its controller-loving player base, and one controller type stands the tallest.
Roughly 59 percent of controller gameplay sessions on Steam utilize an Xbox controller, while the PlayStation controller only amounts to 26 percent, according to a recent Steam blog post. And despite the device’s popularity, only 10 percent of total controller gameplay sessions are actually played on the handheld Steam Deck. Currently the Steam Input service supports more than 300 different controllers.
