Controller support on PC

EA has told me through different support techs that controller support is not available on Origin and EA Play - even for games that support controllers in other PC stores like Steam, Epic, UPlay, GOG, etc which even support wired and wireless PS4 controllers. It’s very strange that I can play EA games on Steam but not on their own platform. Frankly, it’s kind of absurd and embarrassing if this was my company. Am I missing something or does EA just not want our money?

    yes. origin != the games, no gamepad support means you can't use a gamepad to interact with origin. gamepad support is down to the individual games. steam only offers it to games launched via steam.

    which means you got two options (given the game supports controllers in the first place, when in doubt check pcgamingwiki):

    - launch it via steam so it can use steam input.

    - install an x-input wrapper like ds4windows (dualshock 4 only supports directinput natively, which again is not supported by every game).

    I played titanfall 1 with a dualshock3 just fine in 2015 and titanfall 2 with a dualshock4 in 2016. highly doubt it's gotten worse since then, even if this is EA we're talking about...

  • is there any solution.. i downloaded fifa 23 from ea play and now i am not able to play from my controller .. 

    why EA Don't  do something on this 

  • Does anybody know how to connect your ps4 controller to ea app and play fifa 23??

  • @ajello84 I wish I found this post prior to buying battlefield on EA. I spent hours try to get PS and Xbox controllers to work. No go. I could spend 20 extra on Steam for full controller support on battlefield.
