The answer is yes for the people who just want a yes or no answer for the question. But if you want to get a detailed explanation of how to do it, then you must read this article thoroughly.
Though Sony has officially stated that it is not possible to use a PS5 controller with the PS4, it is made possible with the help of a middle man.
How to connect the PS5 controller On PS4?
You can connect your PS5 controller with the PS4 console by using the PC as the middleman. So to know how to connect your PS5 controller to PS4, please check out the below-given steps:
Step 1: The first step is to download the PS Remote Play app onto your PC or Laptop.
Step 2: Then follow the prompts displayed on your PC screen, use the PS Remote Play app, and connect it with your PS4 console.
Step 3: Now use the USB cable and connect your PS5 controller to your PC. Then link the PS5 controller to the PS Remote Play app.
Step 4: Now turn on your Remote Play App. Once it starts running, you will be able to connect and use the PS5 controller connected to your PC to control your PS4.
You might get this question like why there aren't any straightforward steps to connect the PS5 controller with the PS4 console. Sony itself has answered that the PS5 has been designed with some advanced features, which is why it won't be compatible with the older versions. But still, here is a catch. I have helped you to make the impossible possible.
When Should You Use The PS5 Controller On your PS4?
If you only have a PS5 DualSense controller to play with your PS4 console and no PS4 controller or any PS4-compatible controller. In that case, you can follow the above-mentioned steps to use the PS5 controller to the PS4 console.
Otherwise, it is not much recommended. Because using the PS5 controller on your PS4 console isn't that great and won't give you the next-gen experience. PS5 specializes in giving Haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. But these features won't work if you connect your PS5 DualSense controller to a PS4 console.
Also, if you own a PS4 console and not a PS5, and are looking forward to buying a controller. Then I recommend you not to put your hands on the PS5 DualSense controller.
Can you use a DualShock 4 controller with the PS5?
Sony has clarified that you won't be able to use a DualShock 4 controller with the PS5 games. But still, PS5 can support the DualShock 4 when playing games that are backward compatible with the PlayStation 4. So when you play PS4 games on PS5, you can expect the PS4 controller to work with PS5.
Conclusion
The how-to method given in this article is supported on both iOS and Android devices with the help of the PS4 remote play application. But using this method on a mobile device has not proved to be that effective. You may find it difficult to connect the PS5 controller to your mobile device, though the DualSense controller is officially supported on iOS and Android.
That's all about how to connect the PS5 controller on you PS4. I hope I have cleared your biggest doubt. If you find this article interesting, share it with your gaming partners. Cheers!
