It's Not Just Xbox Controllers Getting Some Love In This Update, However, the PS5's DualSense controller also has additional Steam features Specifically, a new drop-down menu has been added for the PS5 controller customization menu which allows you to turn off the controller LED You can also turn it on only when multiple controllers are connected, or activate at any time The default setting is that the LED only comes alive when multiple controllers are connected, so be sure to change it if you are not happy with this setting.
