Reports on Reddit and elsewhere cite the issue in recently released titles including '007 First Light,' 'Forza Horizon 6,' 'SILENT HILL 2,' and 'DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH.' The controller vibrates constantly during gameplay, on menus, and even on the game over screen, behavior that does not occur with an Xbox Controller in the same scenes. It is unclear whether the cause lies with the games or the controller itself. Steam Support has acknowledged the reports and is working on a fix. In the meantime, players are advised to turn off vibration or use a different controller for affected titles.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Steam Controller users report a persistent 'heartbeat' vibration in several new games.
