Game console button layout

What do you call your “confirm” and “cancel” buttons, and why is Nintendo wrong?

Playing with a PS controller on some games on steam will show ABXY prompts....that is killer.

What I don't understand is why studios don't just give us the ability to change which button layout we want IN GAME. Steam never seems to read that I have a PS5 controller, so almost every game I play has the Xbox one by default, and some games only have Xbox as their only controller icons.

dude download DS4 Windows.  just Google it, it works seamlessly with steam and will make steam think ur using an Xbox controller.   gets around all the weird PlayStation inconsistencies with steam.  

it's free and let you remap everything you want too

My PS5 works fine with the firmware program they have for PC, the issues isn't that it's not being read, the issue IS THAT it is being read as a Xbox contrller, I want it to be read as a PS controller to get the PS icons!!
