If you love being able to sync your Nintendo controllers with new devices and applications, you might be a fan of Valve’s latest update to Steam. The company responsible for hits such as Half-Life<\/strong>, Team Fortress 2<\/strong> and the Portal<\/a> series has revealed it’s added support for Nintendo’s Joy-Con controllers in its latest Steam Client beta.<\/p>\n

If you’ve got access to Steam and this particular client, it means you can now sync your Joy-Con and use them as a controller. The patch notes mention how they are supported individually and can also be used in a pair.<\/p>\n

“Added support for Nintendo Joy-Con controllers, both individually as a mini-gamepad and combined into pairs”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This latest update follows Valve adding support for Nintendo’s Switch Online classic controllers<\/a> at the end of July. This includes the NES, SNES, N64 and Mega Drive \/ Genesis wireless controllers. In this latest Steam Client Beta update, Valve has also apparently “improved support for the Nintendo Online classic controllers”.<\/p>\n

Valve previously added support for Nintendo’s Switch Pro Controller<\/a> in 2018, and has even made pads<\/a> like Hori’s Pokk\u00e9n Tournament DX<\/strong><\/a> Pro Controller compatible with its client.
