Yeah, you can! But you’ll need a third-party adapter like the 8BitDo USB Adapter or Mayflash Magic-NS. Plug it in, pair your PS5 controller, and you’re good to go.

Nope, not directly. The Switch doesn’t natively support the PS5 controller. You’ll need an adapter.

Why not just use the Joy-Cons? Less hassle!

I've personally used the 8BitDo adapter with my Switch, and connecting the PS5 controller was pretty seamless. Just a quick setup and there you go!
