Yes, you can use PS4 controllers on a PS5, but only for playing PS4 games. For PS5 games, you’ll need a DualSense controller.

Absolutely, PS4 controllers work with PS5 for backwards compatibility but won’t support PS5 games. DualSense is the way to go for new titles.

Yes, but only for PS4 games, not PS5 ones.
