Apart from the PlayStation 4/5 controllers, it seems even owners of Xbox controllers and generic controllers are also having some issues with Tales of Arise.
Hey, my Xbox One controller is not working on Tales of Arise, but it works on other games like Forza Horizon (Steam version) and the previous NBA 2K21. I’m not sure what the problem is. Can you help me fix this issue? Hyped
I just installed Tales of Arise 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 Tales of Arise. Any help to fix this? Raco

Fix Tales of Arise 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 Tales of Arise, 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 Tales of Arise.
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. As for our recommendation, you can download install IObit’s driver booster or Driver Easy to automatically get the latest driver update for your PC.
Third-Party Controller Support
