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.

Fully agree, I can't imagine a shooter game without M&K support. Actually I will cancel my preorder if it is not available in the beta or confirmed for the final version.

I don’t agree with cross play because of the disadvantages console players have against m/k. controller. If it is cross play which I think it is, please give console players to disable cross play.

@Ukrainetrain87Controller players have the option to opt out of crossplay lobbies. So it doesn't matter whether or not consoles have M&K support because controller users will be given the option to play in a controller only environment either way. M&K support is for the people who are terrible or are unable to play with a controller and they will not be able to infiltrate controller only lobbies if they decide to plug in a M&K. Or atleast that's what we are preaching for.

I think that is fair! I love keeping controller vs controller and m/k vs m/k. I hope that this is true where m/k can’t join controller only servers and vise versa

@FireExhauster This all assumes that IF there is M&KB, it is limited to crossplay only.

As there has been no word on this, what you have stated is not fact.

@Trokey66 I thought my last sentence paints the picture that whatever I say isn't confirmed but it is how we want the devs to add in M&K support. Besides I really doubt that the devs will allow the use of a M&K in a controller lobby because it would make having two different lobbies entirely meaningless.

@MrRockArm Me too. I won't buy game until the confirmation. Will buy vanguard instead if there is no mouse and keyboard support. And wait for halo release.

Seems like we have to wait a bit more to find out my friend..

I wish the devs were more transparent regarding this feature. Is it being worked on? Is there any reason to not add this? As long as M&K users are limited to crossplay lobbies this should be a perfectly fine feature to have in game.
Oh, and potentially less XIM users joining a console lobby.
