Dualshock 4 compatible games list

[anton1453 123]

Hello as you might know the Dualshock 4 controller aka Playstation 4 controller is use-able on the Playstation 3.

And if you are like me, a guy that don't really want to go back to the smaller version of the Dualshock series you might want to use it.

But there is one slight problem, it isn't working with all games ever created on the Ps3. The home button, the touch pad and saxis will never work on it but some games support all other buttons! If you find any flaws with the list tell me what it is and I'll see what i can do

 

If you own a Dualshock 4 and a game that is not on this list please test it out and post a reply on this post saying what game and what buttons actually worked with it.

Press CTRL + F to find the game you are looking for!

With sam & max is it the red marked ones you have tested or which?  http://prntscr.com/5gg5u8

Wow thats cool and useful. Wonder how many racing games utilize the controller? 

 

EDIT: Well looks like racing games is a no   Man no Burnout or GT5, not even Need for Speed

Testing 20+ of my games atm :3

 

Added 8 games to lists.

Ben 10 Omniverse doesn't even respond to a DualShock 4. One Piece: Pirate Warriors works perfectly though.

Edited June 14, 2022 by Valzentia

[Valzentia 1,324]

WWE Legends of WrestleMania works with the DualShock 4.

[Valzentia 1,324]

Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion XL and El Chavo Kart are both fully functional with the DualShock 4 controller.

[Valzentia 1,324]

Shrek Forever After is fully compatible with the DualShock 4.

[RadiantFlamberge 3,536]

Blast Factor is another for the non-working/slightly working list. You need the tilt feature to use a special move that sends a wave across the area to push the enemies around, but it doesn't work with DS4. I think it would've been a better game if the wave technique were mapped to a button instead of abusing the Sixaxis gimmick. The wave control is very touchy and it's easy to trigger it when you'd rather not.

[Eraezr 1,207]

Some years ago, I tried to play Okami HD (digital) with a DualShock 4, it did not work.

[NicholasMondiale 3]

Do Far Cry 4, Deus Ex Human Revolution and The Evil Within work?

Lollipop Chainsaw should be moved, you can't aim the chainsaw blaster with the dual shock 4, see this thread for more details:

 

Killzone 2 should be moved into this category too as there are several wheels you have turn with Sixaxis controls throughout the campaign.

Flow can't be played at all since it is all Sixaxis controls.

You can turn them by mashing circle and L1+R1.
