It seems highly likely mouse support is coming now that crossplay has been confirmed.

CROSS-PLAY IN BATTLEFIELD 2042 BEYOND THE TECHNICAL PLAYTEST

We are still building cross-play functionality, and the first opportunity for us to test it with a wider, invite-only group will be within the Technical Playtest. Right now, we’d like to give you an understanding of what we’re looking to achieve as final functionality beyond the Technical Playtest, so here is an overview of what you can expect that to look like:

  • PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®5 consoles
    • PC and console can opt-out from playing together
  • Xbox One and PlayStation®4 systems

@OskooI_007 It sure is looking likely. It'll be nice to have that confirmed though.

    Now that I know crossplay has opt-out feature, I'm not sure if I should buy a PlayStation 5 or Xbox SX. I'll probably buy both at the same time and keep whichever one feels better with a mouse.

    I'm leaning towards Xbox because it has 1440p support and Variable Refresh Rate support. Plus DICE hasn't mentioned anything about using Tempest 3D audio on PlayStation 5.

    For me it will probably come down to best mouse support.

      @OskooI_007 Get an Xbox XS like me, then you and I can play together for sure, crossplay or no crossplay 🙂
