Yeah, you can use PS4 controllers on the PS5, but just for PS4 games. PS5 games require the new controller.
Yep, PS4 controllers can be used on PS5, but there's a catch! You can only use them to play PS4 games on the PS5. For PS5 games, you'll need to stick with the DualSense controller.
Why would you want to use an old controller anyway? Treat yourself to that new DualSense experience!
I've tried it myself, and my PS4 controller works like a charm for PS4 games on the PS5. But when I fired up a PS5 game, it was a no-go. Gotta use the DualSense!
