Re: Controller not connecting F1 23

Hi. I just got F1 23 on the EA app. I have being trying to connect my ps5 controller to play via bluetooth however that doesnt seem to work. And when I try run the game through steam it doesnt do much either. It only works sort of when I connect using the wire it keeps disconnecting but I know the wire and the controller is not the problem. Does anyone have any solutions


It would appear you have purchased the game on EA app and Steam? Therefore PC platform.

Please follow this guide (Windows 11 will be similar)

https://www.howtogeek.com/716390/how-to-use-a-ps5-controller-on-windows-10/

your PC will need Bluetooth hardware. Please also be aware you may need to update your PC firmware and PS5 controller firmware and/or drivers. 

Can't generally advise on that without a dxdiag (and the name of your mainboard). Thanks.

    Can't offer much more advice than to the previous poster as I neither have the PS5 controlller or GamePass and have the game on Steam.

    @Celesti789 @peep_Ozi if you are running Windows 11 can you try installing the 2024-01 KB5034204 Update Preview?
