Will I get banned for using the PS5 Controller in COD Mobile?

The simple answer is no. One of the best features of Call of Duty Mobile is its ability to detect players using Mobile Devices, Emulators on a PC or Mac, and Controllers. The game will match players in the same position with this ability, making the game relatively fair.

This implies that controller players will be limited to playing against other controller players in all modes like Battle Royale. However, if you're in a party with a mobile phone user, you'll be matched against a phone player and a controller player.
