Nope, a PS3 controller won't work on a PS4. They use different communication protocols, so you'll need a DualShock 4 for your PS4 gaming action.

Actually, you can kind of use a PS3 controller on a PS4, but you'll need to connect it with a USB cable and use a workaround app like InputMapper. It's not the smoothest experience, so a DualShock 4 is still your best bet.

Short answer: No, a PS3 controller won't work on your PS4. Time to upgrade!

I tried using my old PS3 controller on my PS4 and it didn't work. Borrowed a DualShock 4 from a friend, and it was night and day! Save yourself the hassle and stick with the right gear.
