How to Fix Hades Controller Not Working

There are a few reasons why your controller might not be working. One possibility is that the game you’re playing isn’t compatible with your controller type. It’s also possible that your controller is not properly setup, or that Steam is not recognizing your controller.

The first step in fixing the controller issue is to restart Steam. Launch Steam from the desktop shortcut and select the 'View' option from the top-left corner. Choose 'Big Picture Mode' and then click on 'Library'. Under 'Browse', select 'Games' and the game you want, such as Hades. Afterward, click on the 'Manage Games' gear icon under 'Your game'. In the 'Steam Input' section, select 'Controller Options' and then pick the downward pointing arrow to expand the 'Change the Steam Input Per-Game Settings' options. Select 'Forced On' and hit 'OK'. After Steam has restarted, relaunch the game.

If the controller is still not working, try the next fix, which is to change the Steam General Controller settings. Depending on the type of controller you are using, such as the Xbox or DualShock, you need to set the device on Steam via the Controller Settings options. To do this, launch Steam and select 'Settings' from the top-left corner. Go to the 'Controller' tab and then select the type of controller you are using. Once done, click on the ‘General Controller Settings’ tab and make sure that ‘Xinput’ is selected.
