Reply to comment by figmentPez in Nvidia kills off GameStream on Shield, points users to Steam by thebelsnickle1991

It’s a hit or miss if that works in my experience though to be fair. Usually, if it isn’t a steam game, I won’t be able to use my controller at all for the game and it’ll just purely read it as mouse input making it impossible to play. About 8/10 the games won’t work and rarely I’ll get one that does.

I'll admit that my two most recent examples happen to both be best case, DRM-free games.

Things can get a lot more complicated if you're using Origin, Ubisoft, Epic, and other launchers, or even worse Microsoft store stuff.

That's when you start breaking out tools like GloSSI and OSOL to try to get unruly games in line. I've had to use one or the other get Steam Input to work with Amazon Luna running through Microsoft Edge, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen order on Origin, and Far Cry 4 on Ubisoft's launcher. None of those worked when simply added to Steam normally, but were made to work with extra tools.

It's not an ideal situation, but there are options
