Battlefield 2042 was an actual dead game for the time being, till Electronic Arts (EA), the developer of the series, went ahead and rolled out the new Season 6, with major updates around the game’s stability, bugs, and technical issues.

While most of them were fixed, the Battlefield 2042 Controller Not Working on PC is something that remains, unfortunately, unhinged.
