Xbox controller not working

I'm playing dead space remake through the EA app on Windows 11. The Xbox controller will not work after trying many workarounds mentioned in the community, I have tried re-pairing the controller via Bluetooth. I tried plugging the controller in using usb. I tried adding the game to steam. I tried disconnecting all my usb peripherals. Nothing works. Will there be a patch to fix this issue or is there a solution I have not tried?

    Just want to throw out there that I was having the same issue and I was able to solve it. I keep a Razer Orbweaver Chroma plugged into my computer. When I unplug it, the controller instantly starts working for me. I ran into the same issue with Sekiro, which is why I thought to try it. Hopefully anyone else having this issue has something similar that can solve this.


    @TlingitSoldier Thank you for this. What I normally suggest in these is to unplug as many nonessential peripherals as you can and test it. Along with updating any software. I still use a 360 controller every now and then and run into this due to the controller being older.

  • Even though i downloaded the game from the EA client the solution was in the steam software. Go to Steam Settings > Controller > Disable Steam Input for Xbox Controllers. Problem solved!
