Yea I see that now, I was basing my information on the maintaining of DS4Win on what I learned when the DualSense first came out and I was looking for solutions since DS4Win didn't work initially with them back then, the Dev of DSX and some other forums indicated that DS4Win wasn't maintained anymore at that time. The method is still a viable solution for those where DS4Win is not working regardless.

Fixed for me.

After so many hours today testing with various people on the reddit forum, a user named
BR3NDANP has done a test THAT HAS WORKED WITH PS5 CONTROLLERS:

- Connect the PS5 controller via USB, open Steam > Steam tab > Parameters > Controller > General controller settings > Activate ''PlayStation controller settings'' > click on PS5 controller at the bottom > Preferences > Send.

- You click add a non-steam game to Steam, click "browse", go to the directory where EA Desktop is installed (if its the same as mine it'll be something like C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\EA Desktop) and add EADesktop.exe. Then you should be able to launch the EA Desktop app from Steam, and then the game from there.

EVERYTHING WORKS PERFECTLY, ALL THE BUTTONS ARE PLACED, I have tried this with a PS4 controller but this solution does not work.

I hope it works for you and you can play this game in its early version.

Same for me, I've tried everything. It's also the same case with my Xbox One controller.

@EA_David Any update on the situation on this, im loving the hard work from the community members but the short term solutions given arent working. This has been an ongoing issue for over a week now. Getting to the point where waiting is pointless...

@fjusticia7 Thank you works for the ps4 controller, but added the xbox controller configuration.

@EA_David JUST MAKE A SETTING IN GAME THAT ALLOWS PLAYERS TO SWITCH TO PLAYSTATION XBOX OR PC LAYOUT SIMPLE

got the game on origin and my dualsense triggers were set to a and b since I first launched the game, the gas and brake didn't work either, the only trigger that worked is the left on and it made the camera face forward and when I let go the camera looked backward; ps5 controller doesnt work at all, any fixes?

I had the same problem but with a PS4 controller. After many hours i found a way that worked for me. Plug in your controller and go to steam controller settings > check the boxes next to guide button focuses steam, ps4 configuration support and xbox configuration support > add NFS Unbound as non-steam game, add NFS Unbound Trial as a non-steam game and also add EA Desktop app to steam > launch ea app from steam > after ea app starts running launch NFS unbound and leave the ea app and steam running in the background. 
Very unusual and unnecessary but i hope this helps.

PS: always plug in your controller before you launch any other program and also the ea app must be fully closed before you start playing again after you close the game.

@DaKillian thank you

Leave it to EA to make the community do all sorts of testing to find a workaround for something that should've been in the game from day 0.

When FIFA 23 and F1 22 have native support for PS controllers why cant EA just tell all of their dev teams to do the same? The biggest joke here must be Codemaster having native support in F1 but not in GRID.

Or even better. Why not put support your new app the same way that Steam does so it will be solved for all of your games? 

At least then the new app would do something better than Origin...
