Does the game have native support on PS5 for keyboard and mouse ?

>> It won't be supported at launch, but they still investigating the options they have to make it available. See official statement below regarding this topic: "We’ve heard your questions about mouse and keyboard support for consoles. We can confirm that we won’t be supporting this on consoles at the launch of Battlefield 2042, but we are still investigating the various options about making that available, and how it may impact cross-play.

@Asrach It won't be supported at launch, but they'll still work on it to make it available. Probably trying to create it in a balanced way to fit for everyone, since some casual players on a Console just don't like fighting others on the same platform using M&K. See below the official Infos regarding this topic: "We’ve heard your questions about mouse and keyboard support for consoles. We can confirm that we won’t be supporting this on consoles at the launch of Battlefield 2042, but we are still investigating the various options about making that available, and how it may impact cross-play.

@Fartyxxx Thats all of us here 😋@Z3nMestar1 while I would love to hear something from the devs we are going to have to unfortunately wait till after the release of the game. I'm pretty sure the devs would be stressed with releasing the game in a proper state so even we are going to have to wait till their head is clear before we hear anything regarding M&K support. They have done a good job with the game so far and my only gripe is no M&K support. We will let them know for sure.

Crossplay is available so please allow native mouse and keyboard support too. Put us in different lobby with PC players. Playing FPS games with a controller is really hard for many people. having to fight against my controls really makes it hard to enjoy the game. Call of duty has it and nobody had problems. Please consider.

Battlefield really need to support mouse and keyboard on next gen consoles when enabling crossplay with PC🙏 have input based matchmaking either way

@TankerFlanker They implement crossplay with PC, there shouldn’t be a reason not to implement mouse and keyboard on next gen consoles, separate the lobby’s by input method, you don’t need a PC anymore if you have a next gen console! That’s backwards thinking!

@BehindYomama I'm fine as long as they're put into separate lobbies, that way they have no kind of advantage against controller users since they're lobbied with only other k&m users.

@Z3nMestar1 Just get a PC and quit trying to have an unfair advantage over console players

No need for PC that needs to be upgraded every now and then since I've got great consoles + M&K 🙂
Thanks for the advice though.

@EA_Darko We might as well just agree to let the subject rest, all of us who are taking part in the discussion, because it’s obvious we disagree completely and everything has pretty much been said on the subject at this point.

@EA_Darko just to add to the point above: the answer to the original question would be much obliged 🙂

@Z3nMestar1 hate to break it to you, but you really don't need to upgrade a PC's hardware as often. Truth is you can spend 100-200 more on a tower and have it last you twice as long as a console will. and when you do wish to upgrade for better graphics, you can usually do it for far cheaper because parts keep getting cheaper. you dont need the best parts, even average parts at cheap prices are better than current consoles. I only play console because you are less likely to encounter a hacker and I only play with a controller, so i would be at a disadvantage on PC. You can spend as much as you would on a current gen console for a PC tower and still have better graphics at a higher frame rate mate.
