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. If that ever changes, you’ll hear it from us first." Read more here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-Announcements/Battlefield-s-Commitment-to-Positive-Play/td-p/10690725 Greets, Travis

@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.

@FireExhausterEA may be quiet on this topic because announcing M/K support would hurt PC game sales. Lots of people including myself for bail on PC and go pick up a PS5. If I were to bet, I'd say 2042 will have native M/K support.

@-Antares65z- Isn't xbox the official console for battlefield 2042? Announcing M&K for consoles would increase their sales on these consoles wouldn't it? Besides I guess they roughly make the same amount of money from selling PC or console copies. I really hope native M&K is supported. We'll see in the beta I guess. I wish the devs are more transparent about this.

@FireExhauster I don't recall any mention of K&M support from those that had played the Technical Playtest on Xbox. It could still be included, but...

My friend told me that he could use the keyboard when using SERIES S in the technical test, but the mouse seemed to be out of order.

@TuiskuSuomaa Both consoles support mouse (not sure) and keyboard and so you should be able to use them once you plug them in. Some games that the devs don't care adding native M&K can still work but the functionality differs from game to game. Not sure of the entire reason. The firmware allows it. It's just the devs that need to take action.

Games on same level as battlefield like call of duty [even the new one], fortnite, overwatch, halo all support it and all are FPS games. And they are all big and successful games. Siege don't have it because it has no crossplay and mouse in controller lobby is cheating. Pls add mouse and keyboard support to battlefield too.
Also is this where I post so devs can see? Or is this community discussion only?
