Xbox One controller for PC not working through any EA App games

Xbox One wireless controller does not work for any game opened through the new EA app. I have a EA Play subscription through Xbox GamePass for PC and the games start fine but none of them will work with the controller. Reinstalled controller drivers and issues remains. Controller works fine for Steam games and for Xbox GamePass games. So far have experience the issue with Battlefield 3 and Dragon Age Inquisition.

  • Hi,

    I have the same problem with the EA App, I have an EA Play subscription.

    The controller doesn't work correctly when I use it in wireless mode.

    I have a new Microsoft XBox Controller purchased on november 2022.

    So yesterday I tried this steps:
    - uninstall EA app

    - download older Origin App from the web (you can find it easily searching on Google)

    - Install older Origin App and sync the games (the app do it)

    ... and IT WORKS!!!!

    Now the controller works like a charm (IN WIRELESS MODE!!)

    I hope my answer is helpful.

    I understand how this would work. 

    However, As EA is replacing Origin with the EA App the issue will come back. 

    I am unable to play FIFA 23 currently as when I open this through EA App it doesn't pick up the controller that is connected and thinks I'm playing on Mouse & Keyboard.

    Apex however, works fine with the controller. 

    I have just done an update to EA App which uninstalled the Origin client.

    Normally for Fifa I would have to open Origin via Steam in order to use my controller on FIfa 23. 

  • I have issues with the wireless xbox controller 50th anniversary razer darth vader edition only with this game. No matter how i map the buttons my B button is stuck on Jump which jump is bound to my A button and B is bound to evade. My Map button is bound to the default but when i press that button it doesn't donthe map it does the evade action! My left bumber is block but it will randomly switch to focus and i cant block while in combat but it works perfectly when not in combat! Idk how to fix this
