It’s been a day since Riot Games has launched its anticipated FPS title Valorant on PC. The game takes and combines elements from the popular and loved titles like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Overwatch. Valorant doesn’t support controllers natively but it can be played with a controller. To the people looking to play Valorant with PS4 controller, you’ve come to the right place.
As from experience, I don’t recommend using a controller for fast-paced competitive games like Valorant as it requires skill and honed instincts to take down the enemy in deciding moments. Valorant is a tactical FPS game that features agents who have unique abilities and use an economic system to purchase their abilities and weapons. Without any further ado let’s get to the guide.

To play Valorant with PS4 controller you will need to to:
- Download the setup from the official DS4Windows webpage
