PlayStation 5 Accessories Compatibility announced
Sony PlayStation has announced accessory compatibility for the PlayStation 5 in a new blog post on the PS Blog.
The company has provided fans an overview of what currently released PS4 accessories will work on the PlayStation 5.
As part of the post, the company has revealed that the PS4 DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controller will not work for PS5 games. Sony believes all PS5 games should be played with the DualSense Controller.
The DualShock 4 controller will work for PS4 supported games on PS5.
Which existing PS4 peripherals/accessories will work on PS5?
- Specialty peripherals, such as officially licensed racing wheels, arcade sticks, and flight sticks, will work with PS5 games and supported PS4 games.
- The Platinum and Gold Wireless Headsets, as well as third-party headsets that connect via USB port or audio jack, will work on PS5 (the headset companion app is not compatible with PS5).
- The DualShock 4 wireless controller and PlayStation officially licensed third-party gamepad controllers will work with supported PS4 games.
- Both the PS Move Motion Controllers and the PlayStation VR Aim Controller will work with supported PS VR games on PS5.
Please note, not all PlayStation officially licensed or third-party peripherals/accessories may work on PS5. We recommend checking with the manufacturer to confirm whether a product will work on PS5 and specific titles.
Will DualShock 4 work with PS5 games?
