Just wanted to give a heads-up for anyone who missed the recent April 28th stable client update. Steam finally added a much-needed quality-of-life feature: a battery indicator for wireless gamepads right in the header of Big Picture Mode.

I'm using a DualSense controller, and the indicator is working beautifully for me. Definitely a great QoL update for couch gamers on PC.

A few other notable things from the recent patch:

  • Valve also added a "low battery level" toast notification so you get warned before your controller abruptly dies.
  • According to the patch notes, battery notifications specifically for Xbox controllers on Windows are temporarily disabled right now.
