This method is confirmed to work as of Sunday, July 20, 2025. For context, I'm playing the game on my Windows 10 PC with a PS5 DualSense Controller connected via USB (2.0 port).

I recommend trying METHOD 1, then testing, before moving to METHOD 2. To test, load the game and navigate the main menu, noticing whether the controller prompts change between Xbox and PS5. The camera might also rotate indefinitely in game. You'll see the same unwanted behavior when you go to the Control settings and can use HidHide to stop it. Download and install programs as necessary.

• Ensure that PlayStation Controller Support in the Controller settings is set to Enabled in Games w/o Support.
  
• Disable the Steam Overlay while in-game (Steam settings > In Game).
  
• Open the game properties (from your library, right-click Detroit: Become Human and select Properties).
  
• Go to the Controller settings and select Use default settings from the dropdown.

Do the following:

1. Connect your device to your PC, which should show in the list on the Controllers tab. You might need to reconnect your controller or click the Start button located at the bottom-right.
   
2. Click the Profiles tab and create a New profile.
   
3. Go to the Other tabs within the Profile settings to ensure the Emulated Controller is set to DualShock4. Click Apply, and then Save.
   
4. Go back to the Controllers tab and use the dropdown in the Selected Profile to select the new profile you created.
   *You might have to close DS4Windows, disconnect the controller, reopen DS4Windows, and then reconnect the controller. A checkmark in the Ex column indicates games use the virtual controller, hiding the real controller.

If METHOD 1 does not work, do the following in addition:

1. Open the HidHide Configuration Client. From the Applications tab, click on the + sign at the bottom-right. Locate the DS4Windows folder and select the DS4Windows.exe file to add it.
   
2. Identify your controller name by searching your PC for "game controller" to open the Set up USB game controllers to see the controller name. For example, depending on the programs I'm using, my PS5 DualSense shows as either "HID-compliant game controller" or "DualSense Wireless Controller."
   
3. Click the Devices tab and select the name of your real game controller (you should see a checkmark in the box and a red lock icon), and then select Enabling device hiding at the bottom-left.

Open DS4Windows to ensure there is a key under the Ex column, indicating the real controller is hidden by HidHide, or a check mark, indicating DS4Windows is hiding it. Both scenarios are acceptable, but what you DON'T want is an X, which indicates that nothing is hidden.

Additionally, before applying the above settings, I did attempt another method that failed. HOWEVER, one step that might influence your success is modifying the config.vdf to remove controller settings. Again, I am unsure if this actually made a difference, but in case it did...

1. First, exit Steam and unplug or disconnect controller.
2. Navigate to Program Files (x86) > Steam > config or wherever you store your local Steam data
3. Open config.vdf in Notepad. If you don't see it, search the Steam folder
4. Search within Notepad for "SDL_GamepadBind" and delete the text AFTER "SDL_GamepadBind" (Do not delete "SDL_GamepadBind") through to the next {, keeping the {. Depending on your Steam settings, additional items like "ClientID" "Music" "LocalLibrary" etc. might follow. To reiterate, that's the text between "SDL_GamepadBind" and the next {.

*TIP* Use Word Wrap format to view config.vdf to better see the text following "SDL_GamepadBind"
