Can you connect a PS4 controller to a PS5?

It is worth noting that the backward compatibility of the PS4 and PS5 has become one of the most pleasant features for gamers. Not every player knows whether it is possible to connect a PS4 controller to the PS5, as well as what other compatibilities exist with other devices and accessories for the new console. DualShock 4 and PS5 – DualShock 4 is a wireless controller with motion capture capabilities using a three-axis gyroscope and a three-axis accelerometer. In addition, it has additional features for controlling the in-game character. In simple terms, DualShock 4 is not compatible with games that were specifically created for the PS5, so you will need a new controller for those games of that format.

Sony positions the PS5 as a console with backward compatibility with a large number of PS4 games, but some games on the PS5 will not work:

• Afro Samurai 2: Revenge of Kuma Volume One
• TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 2
• Shadow Complex Remastered
• Joe’s Diner
• Assassin’s Creed Syndicate
• DWVR
• Hitman Go: Definitive Edition
• Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: Russia
• Risk
• Space Junkies
• We Sing

This is not an exhaustive list of video games. Sony has warned users that when playing supported PS4 games on the PS5, various errors may occur.
