2) Enable/ Disable Steam Input

Steam has an in-built feature that mimics the controls of an Xbox gamepad. Thus, you can use a PS4, PS5, or any other controller, as Steam detects it as an Xbox gamepad. However, more often than not, this can lead to glitches and bugs, such as the one we are discussing. Check if your Steam Input is enabled or not on your PC. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Steam application on your PC.
• Click on Steam on the top left side of the app’s UI.
• Go to the Controller settings.
• Scroll down and locate the Steam Input option.
• Enable Steam Input by checking the box beside the option.

If Steam Input is already enabled, try disabling it once and then enabling it again.

3) Update your controller

Another simple fix is to update your controller. While it is automatically updated if you're on a console, at times, this step is often overlooked by many gamers. If you're using an Xbox controller, you can do so via the Xbox Accessories App. With a DualSense controller, you must use the PlayStation DualSense Firmware Updater app.
