Hi, Yazan,

Thank you for your contribution and welcome to Xbox Community. It's my pleasure to help.

I'm sorry to hear that your controller does not work in the game on PC. May I know if it works on to some other games?

I found a reddit forum here and I hope this somehow helps:

You could contact Sony support if you feel it should work on the PC, some launchers has features for this controllers to work on games, that will depend on what launcher is he using, but again, this is a characteristic on the launcher

Hello again, this is really weird, because the Xbox One controller is fully works on Win 10 and 11, as it plays on PC, has installed Epic Launcher and Fortnite by Epic, ever tried to check the control settings within the game?

java version on pc does not natively use controller, you could add the game into steam and launch from there this will open the launcher as normal but you can then use a controller.

Personally I love Descenders, a mountain bike game!

The game is beautiful, the controls and gameplay are cool and the OST is great!
