Re: Mouse and keyboard don't work on PS5

Hey @no4bPOL,

This is not a bug. K&M is not supported for the console.

Thanks.

  • in my honest opinion, consoles should have the option to play on mouse and keyboard.like PC has the option to play on controller. 🙂

  • @G2_Filipp Agreed. But so far, that is on Sony in general.

    However, game developers can make any generic HID plugged on USB to work in a game.It works on COD, for instance.

    So, not a bug, but a "missing feature".
  • Any reason KB and mouse is not supported on consoles? Fortnite and COD MW/Warzone 2 have perfect support. Really hurt their sales didn't it? 🙂

    Out of 3, BF is the one I want to play the most atm. But struggle with aiming and especially vehicle control on the controller.

    I haven't played BF since 1942 like 20 years ago. I'm 37 now and having a blast playing BF 2042. I guess launch wasn't that great thus the bad reviews, but I'm in awe from the scale, the graphical fidelity and especially the sound design, which is breathtaking! (with a home cinema setup). It's like I'm there. I could easily see myself spending lots of time in this game, after having spent dozens of hours and $200+ on Fortnite (PS5) last year.

    Please add KB and mouse support. Activision and Ubisoft did it, I'm not sure why EA doesn't want to.

    @EA_Leeuw And when are we having MKB support on consoles? It is a topic being discussed since before the launch of the game and yet no resolution...
  • @EA_LeeuwI don't understand why. Why we can't using keyboard and mouse in battlefield 2042 on ps5? It is not difficult to add this feature.

    @emrecank23 I appreciate that this isn't the best answer, but it's because, for reasons the community aren't aware of, Dice decided that they didn't want to support keyboard and mouse for consoles in BF2042. At this point, I wouldn't expect support to be added, although it may potentially be included in the next title (anything is possible).

    Hello community, I would really like to have support for this game on consoles for keyboard and mouse, even though this game is old, it's worth playing. For me in general, it's really good that I know how to play with a controller, I'm serious, and I don't like playing on a PC platform like many that are supported because they are clear games and many cheats. I'm happy, like dayzz, Arma Reforged, Insurgency Sandstorm are some of the games that the developer thought of you.
