Valve adds Nintendo Switch Joy Cons support to Steam beta

The latest beta version of Steam’s client supports the use of Joy Cons. The user can pair two Joy Cons, but also a single one. It is not yet known when the integration will be available in the official Steam version.

Valve has the update rolled out on Thursday. The Joy Con controllers can be used in two ways in Steam. The user can pair two Joy Cons and use them as a single controller. It is also possible to use a single Joy Con as a small d-pad controller.

In addition to adding Joy Con support, support for Nintendo Classic controllers such as the 2018 NES controller must have been improved. The Switch Pro controller can be used for Steam games since 2018.
