DualShock 4 Won't Work With PS5 Games; List of Compatible Devices

Today, Sony has presented a list of devices originally designed for PS4, which will also receive support on the next-gen console - PlayStation 5. Interestingly, the DualShock 4 pad will not work with games dedicated exclusively to PS5.

What accessories from PS4 will be supported by PS5?

Today, Sony announced details of accessories dedicated to PlayStation 4 which will also supported by the upcoming PS5. According to the message, owners of the new device will be able to freely use official steering wheels and controllers, such as the arcade stick, PS Move, and Aim Controller, which were originally created for PS4.

We will also use Sony's headsets (Platinum Wireless Headsets and Gold Wireless Headsets) and headphones from third-party manufacturers (these must use an USB or audio jack). It's also worth knowing that DualShock 4 won't work with games exclusive for PlayStation 5, although backwards compatible titles are expected to enable this.

As a reminder, as part of The Future of Gaming, where we had the opportunity to see PlayStation 5 for the first time, Sony also presented its official accessories. Console owners will be able to purchase additional accessories such as a DualSense pad charging station, Pulse3D wireless headphones and an HD camera, which is mainly required to play PlayStation VR (interestingly, this dedicated PS4 will also work on a next-gen console, but will need a special adapter that you can get for free).
