I know Sony supports the triggers on their ports (only wired, but I don’t like the latency of Bluetooth anyways, so that’s how I use them on PC anyways), but I don’t know if third parties offer parity between platforms. I haven’t been in a position to consider that yet. I’ve only had the PS5 a few months and my purchases have been exclusives and sports games that are windows only to run root kits on PC.
In terms of anti-features, you need plus for online, to back up your saves, and I think you can’t get digital keys for anything but the games they bundle with consoles.
I’ve mostly noticed Xbox controls for on-screen prompts, but a few have PS prompts. So I’m guessing most ports won’t take advantage of PS5 controller features.
However, Steam Input configuration is awesome so you can probably get a similar effect even if the game doesn’t have explicit support on PC.

Yeah, I really hate that about consoles. Both are free on PC (at least saves are on Steam, not sure about others).

Steam input is awesome.
But a game changing resistance on the triggers based on what’s happening in game can’t really be replicated by a software layer.
Yup, and I’m not sure if Steam Input can control that part of PS5 controller yet. But it at least gets pretty close.
