PlayStation explains why the DualShock 4 won\u2019t work on PS5 games [jwplayer EAAB9usT] After showing off the hardware in June 2020, PlayStation has explained which accessories will work with PS5 and why the DualShock 4 will only be partially compatible. Back in June 2020, PlayStation showed off the first games for the PS5 as well as the console itself and some of the accessories that were being made for the console. Overall, the event was praised for giving fans a deep dive into what the company had to offer, while also being criticized for a lack of finite details like the price, release date, and much more. One question that\u2019s been on everyone\u2019s mind is the compatibility of certain peripherals and accessories. Many people own headsets and controllers that work with PS4 and have been wondering which, if any, would work on Sony\u2019s next-gen console. Suffice to say, the answer is complicated. First and foremost, the PS4\u2019s controller, the DualShock 4, will only have partial compatibility. While the controller will work with PS4 games that are played on the PS5, it won\u2019t work with any PS5 games. According to Sony, the reason behind this is that the company believes that PS5 games can only be experienced when you have all the features that the DualSense controller comes with. For those that don\u2019t know, the controller features haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a built-in microphone, all of which aren\u2019t included on the DualShock 4, so it makes sense that it wouldn\u2019t be compatible for those games that utilize those features.

Finally, when it comes to PSVR, both the PlayStation Move controllers and the VR Aim Controller will be compatible with PS5 games that support it, which really shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise. All in all, it is surely a bit of a disappointment that players won\u2019t be able to use their PS4 controllers for everything, however, it does make sense when you think about it. Hopefully, the controller itself is comfortable enough so that players will be happy to use it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
