The game is unplayable to the sense that you cannot rebind anything on the ps5 controller when on this game. Connecting though steam and setting up a config doesnt resolve the issue further. Loading into the game X on the ps5 or A on xbox for the main action button is R2 on the ps5 controller.
camera is always facing down and looking backwards when booting into the game.
Unplayable state on launch when heat worked like butter.
same.. Tried using ps5 controller with these old methods, but ea app glitches out through steam. But there has to be another way...
Me who bought it 2026, still facing same issue with ps5 dual sense controller.
Anyone please help.
Just bought this thinking playing it with controller will be fun.
Igu, I just figured it out after having bought the game well over two years ago bro.
On your desktop right-click BOTH Steam and EA and run them as administators. You want to do this as it will allow you to have EA actively running in the background after you open it from the steam app. If you dont run both of them as administrators, it'll bug out. It'll say EA is running (through steam) and then close itself while the actual EA is still in fact running.
Note: you'll also want to disable EA from automatically opening on startup if you havent already.
I have the EA Desktop version and I am using a PS5 controller via USB. What you can do is add "C: \Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\EA Desktop\EADesktop.exe" to your steam library as a non-steam game.
After you do that, make sure you close the EA App you may have running. Now launch your newly added EADesktop through steam.
Note: I would probably restart your pc as well, esp after changing your controller settings to what they said above.
After you restart, open steam, open EA THROUGH steam, make sure the EAdestop says running, and then launch NFS Unbound from within the EA
At this point I was able to have normal controls and camera. Everything was bounded correctly and controller worked on Both Unbound and Payback
Does this work for MacOs older version (i.e Big Sur 11.7)?
