Our custom competitive controllers for PS4 and PC empower players to control their experience with remappable paddles, interchangeable thumbsticks, adjustable triggers, and much more! POWER Our controllers can be customized on the fly to any game, providing game-changing milliseconds. Plug your DualSense controller into your PC and begin Remote Play with your PS4, and you'll be able to control your PS4 with the PS5 controller. It's a bit convoluted, but it works.

There’s still some time before Sony’s next-gen console launches on Nov. 12. But PlayStation 5 accessories, including the DualSense controller, became available to purchase on Oct. 30 in the U.S., so many fans are already testing the PS5’s controller with different devices.

YouTuber MidnightMan did a test of his own and demonstrated how the DualSense controller doesn’t work natively with the PS4. He tried connecting the controller directly with a USB cable on the PS4, connecting via Bluetooth to the console, and using Bluetooth and Remote Play via Windows and Mac, but nothing worked.

The PS5’s DualSense controller only worked on PS4 with a USB cable connected to a PC or Mac streaming to PS4 via Remote Play. Strangely, though, the controller worked with a USB cable on PS3.

Sony previously announced in a blog post that the DualShock 4 wireless controller will only work with supported PS4 games via backward compatibility but never said that the opposite wouldn’t work easily.

Aside from the controller, other accessories such as specialty peripherals, like racing wheels, arcade sticks, and flight sticks, will work with PS5 games and supported PS4 games.

The Platinum and Gold Wireless Headsets, as well as third-party headsets that connect via USB port or audio jack, will work on PS5. And both the PS Move Motion Controllers and the PlayStation VR Aim Controller will work with supported PS VR games on PS5.

The post PS5’s DualSense controller doesn’t work with PS4, but works with PS3 appeared first on Dot Esports.

The DualSense controller is available now, but can you use the new PS5 controller on PS4? The DualSense boasts a slew of new features like haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, but it still functions like a normal controller on other platforms like PC. You can purchase the device on its own without the PS5 system, so is it worth a buy if you’re still playing on PS4? Here’s everything you need to know about DualSense PS4 compatibility.

Can You Use the DualSense Controller on PS4?

The DualSense cannot be used with the PS4. If you connect the controller to the system with a USB-C cable, it will charge but the PS4 will not recognize any button presses. If you connect it to the console via Bluetooth, the system recognizes the controller and lists it as “Wireless Controller” in the Bluetooth devices, but you still cannot use it to play any games. Strangely enough, though, the DualSense works natively with the PS3 if you still have one laying around. If you’re desperate to play PS4 games with your new controller, however, there is one strategy you can try.

Using Remote Play

It’s a roundabout method of playing PS4 games, but it’s the only way to use your new DualSense PS5 controller with your PlayStation 4. The DualSense can connect to a PC either wired or through Bluetooth, and you can use PS4 remote play on your PC. You can use any controller you want with PS4 remote play, so you can technically use the DualSense to control your PS4 this way.

Just download the PS4 Remote Play app to your PC, link your console to the app, and then start streaming. If the controller is properly connected to your computer either wired or wirelessly, you will be able to remotely operate your PS4 with your new controller. The experience isn’t ideal, especially if you don’t have a strong internet connection, but it’s the only way to play PS4 games with a DualSense controller.

This method also works on iOS and Android devices with the PS4 Remote Play app, but your experience may vary on a mobile device. You may also have difficulty getting the controller to connect to your mobile device, as the DualSense is not officially supported on iOS and Android.
