Actually the reviewers have already discovered that's not true. The controller outside of Steam shows up as a mouse and only the trackpads function. If you try to play a game from a different launcher, the controller either doesn't work or you can only control the cursor. The controller requires Steam Input to function properly.

The new Steam Controller costs $99, but it is closely tied to Steam Input. This could cause problems with Game Pass titles in particular. Possible solutions are already being discussed on Reddit.
