the controller doesn't work in this game

"I want to play Horizon Zero Dawn with a controller, but when I enter the game, the controller doesn't work, both the Microsoft Xbox and PS5 controllers. Please help me."

So I am trying to decipher this so I apologize, "I can't not use a controller" you used a double negative in this, but I am assuming your controllers are linked and you do not want to use a controller?

As far as I am aware the controller settings should be automatic and will detect a controller if your computers Bluetooth is on and you turn a linked controller on. I'm not really understanding what the problem is, sorry.

you do have the controller plugged in before starting the game, right?
and steam has recognized it as being connected?

Correct, I plugged in the controller before starting the game, and Steam has recognized that it's connected.

PS5 controller isn't supported properly, I've played it with a PS4 dualshock and am currently using a GameSir G3W
does steam detect the controller in BPM?

Make sure Steam Input is enabled for the game if you’re using a PS5 controller. You can enable it through the steam page for that game.

If this happens randomly in game, press Ctrl-Alt-Del then wait for the Task Manager to pop up. Canceling out of that should reset your input device(s).

You can use Ctrl-Alt-Esc to do the same thing with Steam; Just click back on the game itself.

Good Luck, please let us know what worked for you.

I have an XBox 360 and an XBox One controllers and Both work perfectly in the game. Just plugged them in and they worked.

Try the other way around then. I've always had Horizon Zero Dawn (HZD) open and only afterwards plugged in my TBee's brand (which is an Windows and PlayStation 3 compatible) controller. And it worked every time.

similar thing happened to me at first with my xbox controller i enabled steam input and started the game it didnt work, exited game and disabled steam input then started the game, still didnt work so exited and re enabled steam input and loaded the game up and it worked fine, seems strange but it worked
