Yes. If you don't have a wireless adapter, you need to plug with PS4's usb cable, & most importantly enter big picture mode's controller config to make sure your PS4 controller works.

The Controller config to ensure all 3rd-party controller completely emulates steam controllers already being released around Jan 17, 2017

I just bought the game today and the PS4 controller does not work at all. It is completely undetected by the game - none of the inputs do anything and you can't select it as an option in the control menu.

I am having the same issue as ThreeSon. The first time I launched it, my controller worked, but it stopped working after that. The controller works with other games. Can anyone give me some help before I just refund it?

Unless you're willing to use an external program to manage the controller, it looks like there's no solution that I can find. It seems to work fine with DS4Windows, but you'll need to launch that program every time you want to play the game.

It's hardly the only problem this game has years after release. I can't change graphics options at all including the screen resolution. This game is still a mess.

I found the way how to use PS4 controllers, even w/ plug n’ play or usb bluetooth. It may sometimes not work on first try, but will work on second try after reconfigure the Controller Settings & the recommended Control Config Scheme:

It's not working. All of these steps were already taken by me, as I've been using my DS4 controller with Steam games for over a year now.

It doesn't matter if the controller configuration for MUA is set to Zoe Mode's settings or to the default "Gamepad" settings, the DS4 controller never works.

I've also tried restarting the game numerous times, and re-applying the controller settings numerous times. It's not working.

If you used Forced On, it won’t work. There’s also a warning sign on how to use it.

I'm not using Forced On, although I tried that once to see if it would make a difference. It didn't matter. None of the controller options lets the controller work once the game starts.

You have to try re-setting the Controller Settings to “Global” & use Recommended Zoe Mode Config second times + you need to check your Windows Update, & install latest DirectX Input.

The last time I check after I install the DirectX Input, updating Windows, & use plug n’ play PS4, w/ DS4, it works

I'm not a novice at computers. There's nothing wrong with my computer and I don't need Windows Updates. 90% of other Steam games work fine with the DS4 controller. The problem is not with me or my computer; the problem is with the developer of these two games.
