Btw if you add your “epic” games as non-steam games in steam, you can use the steam overlay and change controller bindings like a steam game. It also is a great way to run windows software on Linux without tinkering.
Yep, this is also the #1 reason I have no intention to buy games on Epic going forward. I had to do this for well over a year to use my Series X|S controller over Bluetooth with HITMAN III. They’re paying for exclusivity explicitly so that I can’t buy games on Steam, then I have to launch their launcher through Steam anyway because their platform sucks, so I just end up with an annoying middleman that makes me ask “why?”

It’s a great tip for all the free games though.
