Important Compatibility Information

To ensure the best experience with PlayStatus, please note the following:

• Compatibility Notice: PlayStatus does NOT work on Steam Deck or any Linux distribution using Proton.
• Unsupported Hardware: Xbox Wireless Adapters and other USB controller adapters are not supported. Please connect controllers via Windows Bluetooth settings.

Immersive Gaming with Music Integration and Low Latency Audio

Elevate your gaming sessions with the integrated media player! PlayStatus provides real-time audio visualizations and low-latency audio playback to amplify your experience. Supports FLAC, OGG, M4A, MP3, and WAV files. Take advantage of custom EQ profiles to optimize the sound specifically for your gaming setup. Enjoy seamless music integration without impacting your game.

Unlock Compatibility with Controller Emulation

PlayStatus features a robust controller emulation system, including controller mappings and full rumble support* (for Xbox 360 emulation). This allows you to use your preferred controller, even if a game only natively supports DualShock 4 or Xbox controllers. PlayStatus can emulate a DualShock 4 controller if you have an Xbox controller, and vice-versa, ensuring compatibility across your game library so you can always keep playing.

Let PlayStatus auto-detect when games launch and apply custom controller mappings based on the game selected.

*(Rumble support only for Xbox 360 controller emulation).
