Controller not working for some Steam's games in macOS 12.6

I'm using MacBook Pro (14-inch, 2021) paired over bluetooth with Xbox Wireless Controller (STANDARD GAMEPAD Vendor: 045e Product: 02e0) according to result tested on https://gamepad-tester.com/ which works fine. Steam Big picture mode works fine. I test the following games with and without steam input support.

Steam's Hollow Knight
Steam's Overcooked 2

the controller doesn't work in game at all but it able to navigate and works fine with the steam overlay in-game. Does anybody have this issue? is there any workaround?

Right click on the game in Steam, go to Properties -> Controller and choose Enable Steam Input. I think you can also change the default settings via Steam's global properties. In the Steam menu: Steam -> Preferences -> Controller -> General Controller Settings and make sure the Xbox controller is selected.
