📋 About This Mod
This mod swaps the default Xbox controller glyphs for the PS4 glyphs (and also swaps PS4 for Xbox), which is useful for those of us using a Dualshock/Dualsense controller via DS4Windows emulating an Xbox controller, or for those in-home streaming using something like Sunshine to a handheld with customised buttons, which is my use case (Ayn Odin with custom Playstation glyph face buttons). This lets us avoid resorting to Steam Input or switching Sunshine's emulated controller setting (which can't be done per-game).
Unfortunately this doesn't change the preview controller in the settings menu, but should change every instance of the glyphs themselves in-game/in interfaces. The controller preview in the settings just still shows the Xbox controller, I do not know how to change this.
I've only briefly tested so I'm sorry if there's any instances where it doesn't swap. I simply used Decima Workshop to find the controller glyphs and swap what each button points to.
INSTALLATION
Place the PS4Icons.bin into "Horizon Zero Dawn\Packed_DX12"
UNINSTALLATION
Delete that file. Easy enough.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Does exactly what it says—no bloat, just the glyph swap
- Nice for PS4 players who hate seeing Xbox buttons on screen
- Decent community support (88 endorsements, 1,898 downloads)
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated July 2023—may not work with newer game versions
- Limited to glyph swap; no other customization options
For players who use a PS4 controller and want the UI to match their muscle memory. Also handy for Xbox users who prefer PS4 icons. Skip if you want more comprehensive UI overhauls—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if your game has a mod folder or use a mod manager like Vortex for easy installation.
- If the mod doesn't work, verify your game version matches the mod's last update (July 2023).
- Since it's a simple file swap, you can manually replace the glyph files—just back up the originals first.
