When the Sony PlayStation 5 debuted in November, it came with a ton of new and significant upgrades. Among them were 4K resolution, storage space, faster load times, and the DualSense controller. The DualSense is a departure from the Sony's usual controller brand, the DualShock.
You can still use a PS4 DualShock on your PS5, but only to play backwards compatible PS4 games. You can't use it to play PS5 games directly on the console.
However, you can use a DualShock controller to remotely play PS5 games on your phone, tablet, PC, or Mac through the Remote Play app.
For those who find the DualShock 4 more accessible - or those who simply don't want to buy new controllers -here's how to use your PS4 controller with the PS5 console and games.
How to connect a PS4 controller to a PS5 with a cable
1. Plug the micro USB cable for the PS4 DualShock controller into any available PS5 USB ports.
2. Turn your Ps5 on, and then press the PS button to turn on the DualShock 4.
3. When prompted, select which user is using the controller from a list of profiles.

5. On the Bluetooth Accessories page, you'll see all connected devices that are registered to the console. Using the unconnected PS4 controller, hold down the share button and the PS4 logo button in the controller's center simultaneously until there's a flashing light. This means the DualShock is in pairing mode.
6. Once in pairing mode, the PS4 controller will appear under 'Accessories found' on the Bluetooth Accessories page. Using the controller that's already connected, scroll down to where you see 'Dualshock 4' and select it.
7. A prompt will appear asking, 'Do you want to register this Bluetooth accessory.' Choose 'Yes,' and wait for a colored light will show on the PS4 controller indicating pairing was successful.
