Why Is My PS5 Controller Not Working on CoD Mobile?
Last updated
Having trouble getting your PS5 controller to work with Call of Duty (CoD) Mobile? You’re not alone! Let’s dive into why this might be happening and how you can fix it.
If you’ve found yourself wondering, ‘Why is my PS5 controller not connecting to CoD Mobile?’ we’re here to help unravel this mystery for you.
The Short Answer
Simply put, your PS5 controller might not be working with CoD Mobile due to compatibility issues, outdated game or controller software, or incorrect settings. Don’t worry, though; there are steps you can take to solve this.
CoD Mobile primarily supports controllers that are officially compatible with mobile devices. Since the PS5 controller is designed for the PlayStation 5 console, it might not always work seamlessly with mobile games, including CoD Mobile. However, with the right settings and updates, you can get it connected.
Connecting PS5 Controller to CoD Mobile
First, make sure your PS5 controller is updated. You can do this by connecting it to your PS5 console and checking for any firmware updates. Next, ensure your mobile device and the CoD Mobile app are both up to date. Lastly, check if your mobile device’s Bluetooth is on and try pairing your controller again. If issues persist, resetting the controller’s Bluetooth connection might help.
Some users have reported success by clearing the Bluetooth cache on their mobile device or trying to connect the controller through third-party apps that enable controller compatibility. However, keep in mind that using unofficial methods might affect your gameplay experience.
