Using Switch Pro controller with Epic Games + DLC
I use BetterJoy when playing non-Steam games that don't natively support the Switch Pro controller. Works on other EGS games like Kingdom Hearts 3 and Hitman 3, so it might work with Outer Wilds too.

TIL you can combo GlosSI and RemotePlayWhatever to use Steam's Remote Play Together with Xbox PC Game Pass games
Or... You can use https://github.com/Ryochan7/DS4Windows for Sony and https://github.com/Davidobot/BetterJoy for Nintendo and https://github.com/parsec-cloud to do the very same thing without piggybacking on Steam at all, provided that it's also same to convince your friends to use your apps or my apps.
