@@ -30,6 +30,7 @@ however, it has to be formatted properly to pass verification tests.
 - Fixed "MissingReferenceException" errors when closing an in-game dropdown field [ISXB-1081](https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/product/unity/issues/guid/ISXB-1081).
 - Fixed potential crash on Mac when using stale references to deleted InputDevice objects [ISXB-606](https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/product/unity/issues/guid/ISXB-606).
 - Fixed conditional compilation for non-editor analytics on platforms not enabling analytics.
+- Fixed simulated touch input not working with PlayerInput component [ISXB-483](https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/product/unity/issues/guid/ISXB-483).
 
 ### Changed
 - Renamed editor Resources directories to PackageResources to fix package validation warnings.
