How to get a PS5 controller working with games that only support XBOX controllers
I own a PS5 controller, it works fine with most of my games. However, there are some older titles released 12+ years ago, which don't seem to support PS controllers, only XBOX ones. For example, Uncharted 4 works fine, but I have just installed Batman Arkham Origins and the controller does essentially nothing. Same with LEGO Lord of the Rings, for instance.
Any idea how to get these games to accept my controller?

Unless a games input system has support enabled/implemented, you need an Xinput wrapper like ds4windows or Steam Input to use a playstation controller in those games. Even then, the controller glyps will be for an Xbox controller. For games in Heroic, you can add the game to Steam through Heroic, then in the games Steam properties, go to
Controller then change Use default settings to Enable Steam Inputdependent-tan•7d ago
PROTON_PREFER_SDL as key, 1 as value

Didn't do anything 🙁
I had already thought of this, but for some reason GOG games installed through Heroic and added to Steam don't launch
I am not sure why
I do have Proton selected
as in, they dont launch through steam, they launch via heroic just fine
