Can a PS2 Controller Work on PS3?

Best Answer

Totally! I've been using my old PS2 controller on my PS3 for years with a simple adapter. It's a great way to get some extra use out of your old controllers.

Honestly, just get a PS3 controller. The compatibility can be hit or miss even with adapters.

Yes, a PS2 controller can work on a PS3, but you’ll need a PS2 to PS3 controller adapter to make it happen. Just plug it into the USB port, and you're good to go!

Adapters for the win! Just plug a PS2 controller into the adapter and then into the PS3's USB port. Works like a charm most of the time!
