Virtual Pointer does not work with a controller on PS5

Summary

I enabled the Virtual Pointer for my custom UI. It works correctly when testing on PC, but on PS5 the controller does not allow the player to move or use the pointer to interact with the UI.

UI/Tools

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open a UEFN island with a custom UI that has Virtual Pointer enabled.
  2. Launch the island on PC and open the UI. The Virtual Pointer works.
  3. Launch the same island on PS5 using a controller and open the same UI.
  4. Try to move the pointer and interact with the UI, try pressing the button. It’s not working.

Can be seen directly on the Lyadoll Party Royale map

Expected Result

The Virtual Pointer should work with the PS5, allowing players to navigate and interact with the UI as it does on PC.

Observed Result

On PS5, the Virtual Pointer does not respond to controller input, so the player cannot interact with the UI using the pointer. The same UI works on PC.

Platform(s)

PlayStation 5. Mention PC as the working comparison if the field lets you add details.
