PC Gaming, only 10% of sessions with a single controller
– Reviews News
Mouse and keyboard still very solid on PC.
Soupape published usage statistics for smoke by the players. In addition to general data regarding the number of monthly active users, which made it the platform of video games the most widely used, even surpassing Playstation Network, there is information related to the use of controller.
There seems to be 48 million controllers” saved by Steam users“, which are used in little more than the 10% of sessions. By "controller", it seems Steam means something other than the typical PC gaming peripheral mouse and keyboard: from the Dualshock 4 to pedals for racing games and even dancepads.
In 2021, fighting games and sports were played with a controller 70% of the time; only 7-8% play FPS with a device other than mouse and keyboard instead, and less than 1% play real-time strategy games as well.
Data that probably won't surprise, as data for third-person action games might surprise: about half of gamers actually play with a controller, and in this case it's surprising that so many gamers prefer another mouse and keyboard. Elden Ring's mouse and keyboard support, for example, isn't exactly the best - unlike Eurogamer.it's Elden Ring guide.
