      Is it connected to a PS4 or a desktop/laptop computer through a custom setup? Have you checked the cord connections to make sure there isn’t a broken connection? Have you tried using another controller and had the same problem? It could be an issue with the device you are plugging the controller into. There are too many possible issues to definitively solve the issue.

      OP, you never confirmed what you are using the controller on. Is it a PS4 or a desktop/laptop computer?

      If your PS4 controller is not working in a game on your PC, here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

      Make sure your controller is properly paired with your PC. Connect your controller to your PC via USB cable and make sure the blue light is on. You should see the controller listed in the Devices and Printers section of the Control Panel.

      Check if the game supports PS4 controllers. Some games may not support PS4 controllers natively, and may require third-party software or additional configuration to work with the controller.

      Try using a different USB port or cable. Sometimes, the issue may be with the USB port or cable you’re using to connect the controller to your PC. Try using a different USB port or cable to see if that resolves the issue.

      Update your controller drivers. Make sure your controller drivers are up to date. You can update them through the Device Manager in Windows.

      Try using a different controller. If none of the above steps work, try using a different controller to see if the issue is with the controller itself.

      Hopefully, these steps will help you get your PS4 controller working in the game.

      If your controller is working enough to access menus, hold the PS Button to open the Quick Menu, then go to Power > Restart PS4 to reboot your system. In case your controller isn’t cooperating, press and hold the Power button on your PS4 console until you hear two beeps.
