Battlefield 2042 won't have keyboard and mouse support on consoles, at least at launch
"If that ever changes, you'll hear it from us first," th🥀e studio says

Battlefield 2042 wonꦕ't support keyboard and mouse setups on console when the shooter arrives this fall.
Developer DICE outlined its thoughts on console KBM in a recent covering a "commitment to positive play" and its 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:revised and expansive community charter. Console KBM is listed under the sꦿtudio's focus on "fair play", and it seems that potential effects on console and cross-play lobbies have sᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚtalled the feature for now.
"We can confirm that we won’t be supporting this on consoles at the launch of Bat🦋tlefield 2042, but we are still invest🌜igating the various options about making that available, and how it may impact cross-play," DICE says. "If that ever changes, you’ll hear it from us first."
Battlefield 2042 cross-play is already limited by console generations, with the PS4 and Xbox On💞e playing in their own pool, and enabling keyboard and mouse play on consoles could further complicate things. For PS5 and Xbox Series, which share a pool with PC (one that console players can notably opt out of), it may necessitate input-based matchmaking as an additional factor, and depending on how input devices would be treated, it could risk fragmenting the previous-gen pool for the same reason. It's also possible that DICE is simply concerned about other balance issues like aim assist, camera speed, and similar areas where an analogue stick is inhere𒀰ntly disadvantaged when compared to a mouse.
Speaking of fair play, Battlefield 2042 will use the same anti-cheat as Fortnite and Apex Legends to maintain its "no tolerance" policy on cheating.
