SONIC PICO PARK Controller Support and Remapping
Check Steam controller support for DualShock and DualSense, plus the PlayStation listing for basic remapping and optional controller effects.
Does SONIC PICO PARK support controllers on Steam?
Yes — the game's Steam store page lists full controller support, along with DualShock Controller Support, DualSense Controller Support and Steam Input API Support. What that listing does not include is a button-by-button layout for any pad, so exact in-game mappings are not documented there. If you want to check the labels yourself, the Steam store page is the official listing.
Steam treats these as feature labels rather than a per-pad breakdown:
| Steam feature label | What the listing says it covers |
|---|---|
| Full controller support | Listed as a Steam feature for the game |
| DualShock Controller Support | DualShock pads |
| DualSense Controller Support | DualSense pads |
| Steam Input API Support | Steam's input configuration API |
The Steam store listing itself does not include a diagram of sticks, buttons or prompts, and it does not pair these labels with specific in-game actions.
| Item | Status |
|---|---|
| Steam Deck (Valve review) | Not yet reviewed |
| Controller support (Steam store) | Full controller support |

How do you remap the controls?
On PS5, the PlayStation store distinguishes between remapping and other features. Its accessibility section describes "Controller Remapping (Basic)," which it defines as letting you switch to an alternate pre-set layout, or providing some remapping support, according to the official PlayStation listing. That is a basic tier rather than unrestricted per-button customisation, as that page describes it.
The same PS5 page lists other input-relevant options: the game is playable without motion controls, without touch controls, with vibration off, and with adaptive trigger effects off. It also mentions Quick Chat for sending pre-set words, phrases or icons — useful when coordinating with teammates who can't hear you.
For Steam, the store lists Steam Input API Support, which means Steam's own input configuration layer is available for the game, but that store page does not spell out how it shows up in game or whether every action is remappable. The Steam listing does not lay out a full per-controller configuration walkthrough, and the PlayStation page describes remapping only at the basic tier.
Do the PS5 and Steam versions handle controllers the same way?
They are documented separately, and the two listings cover different things: Steam describes pad support through feature labels, while the PS5 page frames its input options as accessibility features. Each list is scoped to its own platform.
Steam lists full controller support plus the named DualShock and DualSense labels and Steam Input API support. The PS5 store page describes Basic controller remapping and lists the playable-without features above (motion, touch, vibration, adaptive triggers).
If you are kitting out a local session, use the Steam feature list to confirm your pads fall in the supported families, and the PS5 accessibility section as the reference point for remapping on that console.
Can you play with a mix of pads and keyboard?
The store pages do not say. Neither the Steam feature list nor the PS5 accessibility list states whether a single session can combine controller and keyboard/mouse players or several controller families at once. Treat that as unconfirmed rather than as a yes or no.
Is SONIC PICO PARK playable on Steam Deck?
Valve has not yet reviewed it. On the Steam store page, the Steam Deck compatibility field reads "Not yet reviewed," and no test results are listed. That rating does not mean the game is Verified or even Playable on Steam Deck — it simply means Valve has not published a verdict yet.
