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.

@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.

Many use xim and chronus regardless of m/kb native support because they get the benefit of aim assist and mouse precision aiming.
Giving m/kb native support won’t stop xim users!

@emerson1975 But it also won't force an ordinary person to buy this device 🙂

@emerson1975 There are people who use it as M&K and there are people who use it to cheat. Cheaters are going to cheat no matter what but the people who use it only to play with a M&K will no longer have to. This also ensures there is less Cronus users joining a controller lobby.

@ZjemCiKolege Even new COD have m&k support. If it was problematic then devs would have removed this feature. It's a very useful feature for lot of us and helped me enjoy warzone. Please add m&k support to battlefield 2042 on consoles. Input based lobby is fine too so controllers don't feel attacked by this.

Guys, keep in mind that when you enable KB&Mouse on console the Aim assist is automatically turned off by the game, there's nothing to worry about.
Actually the Xim stuff is cheating, because then the console is not aware that you use mouse and keyboard and you keep the aim assist.
By the way, I have opened Feature request regarding this in different part of the forum (before this one was created), you can check it here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/EA-Play-Console/FRQ-Battlefield-2048-Mouse-amp-Keyboard-for-PS5-Xbox-SeriesX/m-p/10431235
Eventually upvoting posts like mine, may gather some dev attention.

I'm all for options, but I'd rather not roll against ppl using anything other than controllers.
All in all, it's not the end of the world if I'm going up against k&m ppl with my PS5 controller.
I roll to have fun, talk sht and chill..... not be honored with a star on the sidewalk hall of fame for gamers....due to my 'Captain fantastic' K/D ratio.

@SOCOMDEATHDEALRController users will have the option to opt out of playing with PCs already.

Ideally there should be two lobbies. One is a controller only lobby and the other a crossplay lobby. Controller only lobbies should have xbox series s/x and ps5 controller users playing together. M&K console users should only be restricted to crossplay lobbies with PC (and sprinkle of PS/Xbox controller users who decide to not opt out). Should fix your problem.
