Can You Use a PS4 Controller on PS5 for Fortnite?
Last updated
Ever wonder if you can jump into a game of Fortnite on your brand-new PS5 using a PS4 controller? You’re not alone! This question pops up a lot, especially with the exciting world of Fortnite waiting to be explored.
Let’s get right into it and figure out if your trusty PS4 controller can team up with the PS5 for some Fortnite action.
Yes, You Can!
Good news, Fortnite fans! You can absolutely use a PS4 controller to play Fortnite on your PS5. This means you can keep enjoying the game with the controller you know and love.
However, there’s a small catch. While you can use the PS4 controller, it only works when you’re playing Fortnite. That’s because the PS5 uses different tech for some of its new features, but Fortnite doesn’t need those, so your PS4 controller is good to go!
