How to use a PS4 controller on PS5?

-

If you have already upgraded to PS5 from PS4, you probably don’t really use the previous PlayStation. Sometimes it makes us poignant when we look at the old PlayStation 4. Do you know one thing that is still usable that belongs to the old PS4? That’s the DualShock 4. Yes! the PS4 controllers are still usable on the latest PS5.

Keep reading this article to know how you can use a PS4 controller on PS5.

Does DualShock 4 work fluently on PS5?

Well, technically yes, however, there is a catch though. You can only use a DualShock 4 controller on PS5 if you are playing a PS4 game on PS5. With PS5 games the DualShock 4 won’t work. You need a DualSense controller for all the PS5 games.

Let’s check out how to connect a DualShock 4 controller with PS5:

How to connect DualShock 4 with PS5?

  • Start your PlayStation 5 and go to the Home Menu.
  • Then go to Settings > General > Bluetooth Accessories.
  • After that, you have to turn on the pairing mode by pressing the Share and PlayStation buttons together on your DualShock 4.
  • Once enabled, your DualShock 4 will be visible on the TV as a Bluetooth device.
  • Select it and press X.
  • You have successfully paired your DualShock 4 controller with your PS5.
