The PC build uses EA Javelin anticheat and EA account software. Steam also lists EA activation, the EA app, Denuvo, and kernel-level anticheat disclosures. Those requirements are part of compatibility, not optional graphics settings.
EA documents full USB features for DualShock 4 and DualSense on PC; DualSense over Bluetooth receives basic vibration rather than the complete wired feature set.
