I know Steam supports controllers, but does lutris and Heroic Games Launcher support it too? (PS, XBOX, SWITCH)

Yes, all normal controllers should work out of the box on a modern kernel.

That includes official Playstation, Xbox and Switch controllers.

Like kernel 6.1?

Xbox and Playstation controllers work out of the box for me usually on steam and Heroic. Sometimes games try really hard to not recognize it but can usually made work.

Steam itself does a lot of heavy lifting when it comes to controllers. Steam supports Playstation, Xbox, and Switch controllers on its own, even when the OS doesn't.
