    Sony’s excuse is bullshit. If they really were convinced these were counterfeit 3rd party controllers, they should’ve popped up an on-screen message “defective counterfeit controller detected, please only use properly supported hardware”. That would’ve made the error clear. But random disconnects are just sabotage.

      Microsoft did it even worse by not allowing any third-party controllers to even connect to the Xbox one (series S/X) via wireless or even a USB port, via a controller firmware update.

        Is that why my GamePass games are being finicky with a controller now, even though I’m on PC? I use a third-party controller myself.

        They used to work with any controller, no problem. But after a month or so ago, they all started playing really weird.

          I use(d) a first party Xbox controller on PC and it’s become an unusable disconnect nightmare. No controller centric games till I get a solution figured out.
