    I can imagine the new Astrobot getting a PC port, where you’re still literally using a dualsense controller as part of the game. It’s about the best advertising you can get for your own hardware/legacy.

    If such a thing happens and it sells controllers, I can imagine them doing something with PSVR2 as well, assuming the hardware limitations get sorted.

      Totally! I bought a DualSense to use with my gaming PC and I love it! It works seamlessly with Steam Input and it gets full support on PlayStation 5 games that have come out on Steam.

      Honestly, I’d love to see Sony’s adaptive triggers come to PC - it’s such an amazing experience feeling tension on the triggers. The haptics are also crazy cool (and if Sony and Valve grow as partners, we could possibly even see those features added to Steam Input for DualSense controllers).

      Sony need to protect their interests but if they see a world where Steam gamers are buying DualSense controllers and PSVR headsets, it might give them reason enough to cross-publish on PlayStation and Steam (Valve could very well cut them a deal to dramatically drop their standard 30% cut).

      I’d LOVE for the next Steam Deck to be a joint venture with Sony. I miss the PSP / PS Vita all the time and the Deck is the closest to a modern iteration (and it’s not so far off the design I’d have expected from Sony themselves).

        I think the odds of Sony and Steam collaborating on hardware is really slim, but I would die for a PlayStation x Steam Deck. My deck OLED is all but a Chiaki machine, to be honest.
