Can You Use a PS4 Controller for PS5 Games?
Unfortunately, you can't use a PS4 controller to play PS5 games. You'll need a PS5 DualSense controller for that.

Yeah, you can use a PS4 controller on a PS5, but only for PS4 games. PS5 games need a DualSense.
Tried it myself. PS4 controller works like a charm for PS4 games on the PS5, but PS5 games? No dice. DualSense required.
Sony said nah, DualSense only for PS5 games!
Hot take: Just stick with the DualSense. It's awesome and worth the upgrade.
