Using 2 controllers for FighterZ controls only the first player

Hello M8DLT,

I just want to know if you were able to get your PS4 controller to work with Dragon Ball z fighters. I went ahead and tested it myself on 6 different PCs within my home, using Windows 10/11 and a PS4 & PS5 controller. My devices were able to recognize the second player and i did not have to use the software I suggested. It's unfortunate, that i was not able to replicate the issue you are experiencing. Here is another suggestion, please make sure that your operating system is up to date and that any updates to your drivers is good to go.

I hope these suggestions help! If this answers your question, please mark the thread as "Answered."

Hi, M8DLT,

I hope you are doing well today. Welcome to the Xbox Community. Thank you for reaching out to Xbox Forums. regarding your issue with Dragon Ball Z fighters, I did some research and found that many users who want to use a PS4 controller with this game and many others run into this issue. Many community members have recommended using a program called

DS4Windows is an open-source gamepad input mapper and virtual emulator designed to use and connect your PlayStation controller (DualShock 3/4 and DualSense 5) to a Windows 10 & 11 PC. Get the best gaming experience and gamepad customization and less input latency on a PS3/PS4/PS5 Controller.

Even users are Steam have reported the same issue with PS4 controllers not being recognized by the games they play. Please keep in mind that this is a third-party product.

In addition, the drivers Dual shock controllers use is very different, that is why users have issues with compatibility and using them on PC.

I hope these suggestions help! If this answers your question, please mark the thread as "Answered."

If you plugged the stick in first that is player 1 isn't it? Then a controller would be number 2. If you use the controller first that would be player one and then the stick after you plug it in would be player 2. I don't know of any other way to do it differently
other than unplugging it and the plugging it back in.

Thanks, but no. It still acts as if there is only one controller, both act as primary controller and hitting the enter button takes you back to the first screen. Can't even choose a car for the 2nd player. Have you played 2 player?

I never faced that problem. Diconnect the wired controllers first. Now if you want the wired ones to be Player 3 and Player 4, just the the 2 wireless ones first so that they are assigned Player 1 and Player 2. So the next controllers you connect will have
to be Player3 and Player 4. This way you can adjust the Player number you want to each controller. Hope this helps
