Does PS5 controller support for Nier Automata?

[Skyest]

Hello guys,
I'm planning to buy PS5 controller but does it support for playing Nier Automata with PS5 controller?

The game does not have native support. You will need to use either steaminput or another third party program to recognise it.

Also a mod like the below to show PS based prompts.

Yes it works. I have one and work fine. Just remember to get a usb c cable. It easy to setup if you are wired. Just go to steam>setting>account>beta participation. Select steam beta update and after that restart your account. Go to big picture mode and you will see the DS5 controller in controller settings and you can make your adjust there. Only game I know that DS5 dont support is Need For Speed Heat, other than that it works for my other games.

i've tried to use the PS5 con connected via BT, and that doesn't work for me, so far. FAR yields me an error message telling me "something-something xinput corrupted", so i thought the PS5 con was just broken with the game....

i suppose i should try to connect it via USB; thanks for the tip!

PS: it's been a while since you didn't specifically need to participate in the Beta for the PS5 support, iirc Steam had that handled into a final release around christmas

I played this game with a PS5 controller via bluetooth. Not sure why everyone else says they're having issues. I had no problems to speak of with the controller. Just make sure the controller is properly setup with Steam. And no, you dont need to be on the beta either.

The game itself is a little buggy. Even with a 5800x and 2600s I have some weird issues. The game ran at a solid 60fps until I started getting more and more endings and collected every weapon. Now it dips down to 45ish fps. The size of your save file drastically affects your performance.

I have got the DS5 when it first released using wired connection and I have to set it up by using the beta participation. I didnt know the beta was done thanks for the heads up. Majority of players that have a DS5 use BT on games claims it kinda of janky. I never tried it with BT on steam only wired and it more stable.
