Making the PS5 DualSense Controller Work on PS4

[@lewanuva8158]

The ps3 just has this weird ability to use almost any controller you can connect to it. With the exception of xbox products it can use just about anything including off brand pc controllers and joycons

[@trish_vr]

Weird thing I noticed: the DualSense isn’t detected in regular Bluetooth in iOS, but if you go to Accessibility > Switch Control > Switches > Bluetooth Devices and try to pair your controller, it will appear as Wireless Controller, and you can pair it, but it shuts off after about 0.1 seconds. I managed to pair my DualSense with my Windows PC and my MacBook Pro, and it works out of the box with Steam. I can also confirm that it works 100% on Remote Play, but only via USB. Even the mic mute button works!

The reason why it works on the PS3 out of the box is because of the way bluetooth works on the PS3 vs PS4. PS4 Bluetooth device connectivity is supposedly more restricted than the PS3's

[@Vinnay94]

But it's not like you could use PS2 controller on PS3. I quite liked the forwards Compatibility of PS Controllers as not only made the experience better but it probably helped sell more PS4s several months after launch as not every kid had parents willing to buy a PS4 on launch.

[@furballbear]

I've walked in a bunch of stores lately and found plenty of PS5 DualSense controllers on shelves even though the consoles themselves are as rare as hen's teeth. That's why I believe it makes good business sense for Sony to patch in DualSense support for both the PS3 and PS4. Especially when you consider that peripherals like controllers often bring in much more profit than do the actual consoles. Sony has sold what, almost 200 million PS3 and PS4 consoles combined so that represents a HUGE market of potential DS5 controller sales. Also, many of the people who buy those controllers would be likely to want them to be their 2nd PS5 controller eventually.

[@nc1743]

It makes a lot of sense why it doesn’t work on the PS4 but does on the PS3. The ps4 controller worked on PS3 via usb connection, so the dual sense working in the same way on the PS3 makes a lot of sense. The PS3 controller never worked with the PS4, not even with USB. The PS4 controller didn’t even have a proper way to play wired with it’s own console. They had to make a patch where having it connected with USB actually cut down blatancy. They probably need to push a patch out for the bluetooth part for the dual sense to work properly. Same for USB seeing as it worked on PC via USB. Sony just didn’t focus on that and probably focused on updating share play to work for PS5 and the PS app.

No reason why the dualsense can't work om the PS3/PS4. Sony can't push the PS5 any more than selling out every console they make for the last 2 years in 15 minutes.

[@feartheolivebread]

The fact that the controller works on PS4 via remote play and even works on PS3 natively, makes me think this is not a compatibility issue, but rather a choice. You see, if your ps4 controller breaks in a few years (and they will, since they are notoriously unreliable) you cannot simply buy a ps5 controller to replace it and the ps4 controllers will no longer be available in stores. Now you have a console with a large library of games that you bought over the years, but with no controller to play on it with. So if you want to play the games you already own without using remote play, you HAVE to buy a PS5.
