The PS5 has been on the block for nearly four years now, and while there’s plenty of exclusive games available for it, one of the best things about Sony’s latest console is backwards compatibility. Only a few small percentage of PS4 games won’t work with the system, so chances are if you pop a PS4 disc into your console, it’ll work! Even so, we’re still getting a lot of people asking if you can use your PS4 controller on PS5. Still got that DualShock 4 handy?

Can You Use PS4 Controller On PS5?

Yes, you can use your DualShock 4 on the PS5! If you’re going to be playing your PS4 games on the system, then you’ll definitely want to keep your DualShock 4 pads; they cannot however be used to play PS5 titles, so keep that in mind. Obviously, the DualShock 4 doesn’t feature haptic feedback and other features the DualSense is known for, but you probably already knew that!
