Elden Ring is one of many PC games to have Xbox controller support but not PlayStation. If you plug a DualShock or DualSense controller in, you'll get the wrong prompts, but a modder has already fixed this issue.
Aptly named PS5 PS4 Controller UI For Elden Ring, Iosh11's mod is a simple quality of life fix that makes playing the game a little less of a headache for those with the 'wrong' controllers. It updates the texture files to add DualSense and DualShock UI buttons, even coming with an installation video to help you set it up. It also updates the controller screen to swap out the Xbox peripheral with a PlayStation one.
With it being a quality of life texture update, you should be safe using it with Elden Ring's anti-cheat, meaning that online is still fair game. Mods like this exist for the Dark Souls series, after all, given that they too lack DualShock and DualSense support. It's an unfortunately common trend for PC ports, even with Steam now directly supporting DualSense.
Elden Ring's modding community is already alive and kicking. We haven't got a randomiser yet but, if the other Souls games are anything to go by, it isn't too far off. But we do have players pitting Radahn against Malenia, implementing RTX early, and even adding easy modes and pause functionality. Only a month within release, the modding community is budding.
Some of it is fun like changing all the horses to trains and some of it is more functionality-oriented like fixing the invisible enemy bug. Maybe FromSoftware will eventually patch in DualShock and DualSense support but, given the state of other ports like the original Dark Souls, many aren't holding their breath.
For the time being, the community is picking up the slack, so rather than forking out for a new Xbox controller, you can grab this mod that's completely free. Save yourself a bit of cash.
