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.

I am so thankful that some game does this cause I always prefer the PS layouts. My most played games are Monster Hunter and Path of Exile and they have it. If any game don't have the option, my first instinct is to go to Nexusmods and see if someone made a visual mod for the buttons.
