It is safe to say that the PlayStation 5 represents a significant advancement in the Play Station line of gaming consoles. Whether you just purchased Playstation 5, you may be questioning if one could utilize a PS5 gamepad on PlayStation 4.

Dual Sense is the name of the gamepad that comes with the latest Playstation 5. On the other side, the PS4 has a controller called Dual Shock 4. It was a gamepad hailing from the 4th iteration. The Dual Shock line is now officially ended.

When compared to the DualShock 4’s capabilities, the DualSense provides several more options. An additional level of immersion may be achieved by using adjustable buttons and haptic input. The Xbox Series X/S gamepad hasn’t seen any substantial advancements, and they’re still no match for Dual Sense. So, now we get to the crux of the matter. Is it possible to connect a PS5 gamepad to a PS4?

let’s tackle this one in detail.

Will My PS5 Gamepad Support My PS4?

Unfortunately, DualSense is not supported by the Playstation 4. A PS5 gamepad won’t work with a PS4. Even if you already own a Dual Shock 4 gamepad, Playstation needs you to purchase an extra one in order to enjoy your favorite pastimes. Also, there’s a good chance that this disparity could be due to a different reason.

The DualSense, for instance, functions effectively with connected with the PlayStation because it supports and bodes well with a wide range of wireless peripherals. As a result of the PS4’s inability to detect the PS5’s DualSense gamepad, it isn’t functional with the DualShock 4.

Only the Playstation 5 has Dualsense, however, it can be accessed via Bluetooth on a Computer or a Nintendo Switch adapter. It’s nonetheless possible, though, thanks to a remote-play program termed Remote Play. So, this is the way to do it.

Making The Use of Remote Play

DualSense controllers charge properly when attached to a Playstation 4, however, the software doesn’t really detect them. This has been tried and verified by a large number of people. There’s no way to play on a DualSense while the PS is connected to a Playstation 4, and there’s no way to utilize Bluetooth to connect it to the system, too. The sole way to access it is via Remote Play.

Let’s have a look at how you may do this.

  • Make sure you have the Playstation 4 Remote Play software installed on your computer or laptop.
  • Execute the on-screen directions on your Computer to link your PlayStation 4 system through the PS Remote Play program.
  • Use a USB wire to link your PS5 gamepad to your computer and launch the PS Remote Play application.
  • Your PS4 may now be controlled with a Playstation 5 gamepad that is linked to a Computer utilizing the Remote Play App.

One thing worth mentioning here is that you’ll be gaming without adaptive triggers, haptic input, as well a state-of-the-art in-built mic. A conventional DualShock 4 gamepad is preferable because PS4 titles are really not built to make use of DualSense.
