will my xbox one bluetooth controller work for steam? my controller is pictured below

Yup, works fine for me on all games on my PC.

Keep in mind your PC also needs to have bluetooth, otherwise you need to get a wireless adapter with it

Yeah, Steam has great controller support in of itself, but it’s all gonna be game-dependent. 

You can use an Xbox One controller on a PC using a Micro-USB cable, via an Xbox One Controller Receiver (the ones they made for the pre-One S controllers) or via Bluetooth, if applicable.

can i use the controller below and a usb adapter to connect it to my pc(bearing in mind the controller is bluetooth)

A USB Bluetooth adapter or the XBOX Wireless USB adapter?

The answer to both would be yes, but with the bluetooth adapter you can only connect one controller, with the official wireless adapter you can connect multiple  controllers.

yup.

(you can even use up to 8 controllers :P )

 

Of course provided the game you're playing supports multiple controllers  (like a platformer game where you can friends can play on the same PC at the same time).
