While the game has already been out for a while, it seems that the PC version has some problems as we have already received lots of questions and queries about how to fix the unresponsive controller in the PC version of FIFA 22. Here’s an example of the problem that we received in our inbox:

Help! I have a PS4 controller and I want to use it to play FIFA 22 on PC. But when I connected it to my computer and tried to use it in the game, it just didn’t work. None of the buttons are working. Even the analog stick is also not working. How can I fix this?  Josh

Apart from the PlayStation 4/5 controllers, it seems even owners of Xbox controllers and generic controllers are also having some issues with FIFA 22.

Hey, my Xbox One controller is not working on FIFA 22, but it works on other games like Forza Horizon (Steam version) and the previous NBA 2K22. I’m not sure what the problem is. Can you help me fix this issue?   Ronaldo

I just installed FIFA 22 hoping to experience the game on a PC. The game works fine when I use the keyboard, but I prefer to use a controller. I am using a Logitech F310 and I have the latest driver for this controller. After I insert the controller using USB, it doesn’t work on FIFA 22. Any help to fix this? Paul

As you can see, there are lots of players who have the same problem as you have – controllers are not working on FIFA 22. Fortunately, we have found a solution that will help you fix this issue in the game. Below, we have compiled the most effective methods to fix the control issues on FIFA 22.

Fix FIFA 22 Controller Issues

Before we start with the main troubleshooting, let’s try the most basic method to fix this issue. Depending on which controller you are using to play FIFA 22, make sure that the controller support is enabled on your PC.

Update Your Controller Drivers

Just like any other external peripherals, there’s a chance that your computer doesn’t have the driver dedicated to your controller. That is one of the reasons why your controller is not working in FIFA 22.

If you know the manufacturer of your device, simply visit their website and download the drivers needed. You can even ask for their support for the correct driver version that you can use. If you can’t find the proper and correct controller driver for your device, you can use some third-party software that will automatically fetch the latest driver update for any available hardware connected to your PC. In our experience, we fixed the controller issues in FIFA 22 by using IObit’s driver booster or Driver Easy to automatically get the latest driver update for your PC.

Third-Party Controller Support

Another method to fix your controller is by using third-party controller software. There are a lot of gamepad controllers out there, but in this guide, we highly recommend the following as we have already tested them all.

Please note that we are not associated with any of the third-party controllers that we mentioned here. The list above is based on our very own experience when we used their product.

Contact the Support
