Hello @kijzert,

If I'm not mistaken, you can't use a PlayStation controller for Battlefield V without installing 3rd party software which is prohibited by EA. DS4 is considered as prohibited software.

Best regards,

    Hi Danisoff,

    Thank you for this information. 

    Does this mean i can only either use keyboard and mouse or an xbox controller?

    Many thanks in advance,
