All things Stardew Valley.

(Potentially) SOLVED: I disabled both Steam Overlay and controller Steam Input, and now it somehow works. Strangely, I believe they were both disabled to begin with and I tried enabling one at a time, then both, and nothing worked. I wanted to test individual settings again so I turned both off and suddenly it recognizes my controller (DualShock 4)


I haven't played 1.6 but I'm sure I played 1.5 with this setup a while back and the controller was working. Now my Mac recognizes the controller (and I can use in Steam's big picture mode) but the game doesn't.

What I've tried:

  • Started the game through Big Picture mode using my controller, and tried without Big Picture mode
  • Uninstalled SMAPI and any mods
  • Restarted my Mac
  • Enabled/Disabled Steam Input in controller settings

Anyone have any experience getting it to work?


NOTE: Just tried with DualSense/PS5 controller and having the same issue. The game doesn't seem to recognize the controller

I tried all kinds of things to get Stardew Valley on my Mac to work with an XBox controller, and just gave up eventually.

The XBox controller works fine for everything else, just Stardew Valley doesn’t work with it :/

Gonna follow this thread in case you find someone with a solution

Same with me! I tried a bunch of other games and it's working fine, it's just Stardew Valley that refuses to recognize it.

Hello! I updated the post but just FYI it's now working for me after I disabled both Steam Overlay and Steam Input from the game's settings.
