Popular Post ziggypossum Posted August 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 3, 2020 PlayStation 5: Answering your questions on compatible PS4 peripherals & accessories Information on DualShock 4, PS VR, officially licensed peripherals, and more. In our June Future of Gaming digital event, we announced an array of PlayStation 5 peripherals and accessories that will be launching this holiday season. But we know that many of you were also wondering if and how existing PlayStation 4 peripherals are compatible with the next-gen system. Today, we’re happy to share a brief FAQ that will answer some of your questions. If you have questions that aren’t addressed, feel free to leave them in the comments below. Which existing PS4 peripherals/accessories will work on PS5? Specialty peripherals, such as officially licensed racing wheels, arcade sticks, and flight sticks, will work with PS5 games and supported PS4 games. The Platinum and Gold Wireless Headsets, as well as third-party headsets that connect via USB port or audio jack, will work on PS5 (the headset companion app is not compatible with PS5). The DualShock 4 wireless controller and PlayStation officially licensed third-party gamepad controllers will work with supported PS4 games. Both the PS Move Motion Controllers and the PlayStation VR Aim Controller will work with supported PS VR games on PS5. Please note, not all PlayStation officially licensed or third-party peripherals/accessories may work on PS5. We recommend checking with the manufacturer to confirm whether a product will work on PS5 and specific titles. Will DualShock 4 work with PS5 games? No, we believe that PS5 games should take advantage of the new capabilities and features we’re bringing to the platform, including the features of DualSense wireless controller. Is the PlayStation Camera for PS4 compatible with PS5? Yes, PlayStation Camera will work with PS5 for playing supported PS VR games. It will require a PlayStation Camera adaptor that will be provided at no additional cost to PS VR users. More details on how to get the adaptor will be announced at a later date. And that’s it! We’ll continue to provide updates on PlayStation 5 down the road, so make sure to check back soon. https://blog.playstation.com/2020/08/03/playstation-5-answering-your-questions-on-compatible-ps4-peripherals-accessories/ 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaserPL Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 For fucks sake, I was hoping that PS3 Move sticks would get cheaper but no, still they can be reusable for the next generation which means they will get more expensive. Great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyondthegrave07 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 So you can use PS4 controllers for PS4 games on PS5, but you have to use dualsense controller for ps5 games? I guess that's one way to ensure Dualsense controller sales... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepEyes7 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Understandable, if the first PS5 games use just once in a lifetime one of their new gimmicks (Like PS3 games with the sixaxis or PS4 with the touchpad?), is normal that it will only works with the DualSense and will ask for it...

The PS3 introduced the sixaxis, and then the DS3, but those had a different connector and I don't remember if the DS2s would work on a PS3 game. I have the adapter and DS2 controllers, I'll have to try that out, but I'm pretty sure they didn't work. PS4 doesn't let you use DS3's on PS4 games either. You need to pick up an adapter to even get it to work and then compatibility was determined on if a game required touchpad input. I always took the DS4 will work on PS5 as they'll work for PS4 games on PS5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImMagnetz Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I wonder if we'll be able to use the PS5 controller on PS4. It'd be nice to have a backup for if my PS4 controller ever dies. I currently use my PS4 controller on my PS3 as my PS3 controller has seen better days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dzstrpc Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Nothing about the future of VR. DualSense controller don't seem VR-Compatible to me since it lacks a lightbar. My guess is they'll announce new motion controllers that will replace the Moves. There are patents online if you google. https://hothardware.com/news/sony-patent-for-motion-controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes complete sense, and as you mentioned, it's unusual for Sony to allow older controllers on newer systems. I just hope that PS5 games take advantage of the capabilities or it's going to feel like a more expensive DS4. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefourfoldroot Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Fantastic news!!! It was going to be hard enough getting 3rd party devs to support haptics and reactive triggers given MS dropped the ball on adding these features, but telling devs, especially of multiplayer games, that even PS5 player’s may not have access if using old controllers would have further damaged uptake for these great features.

thefourfoldroot Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 18 minutes ago, Property_Damage said: Heard you guys are going back to 5year console life cycles Baseless rumour. The tech is much more future proof than last gen and the hardware isn’t even profitable the first few years until components fall in price.

It was smart of them to repurpose PS3 move controllers for VR use, but the technology and design is showing its age and limitations when compared to other VR headsets.

Sushi_Combo Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) It's too bad the headset companion app doesn't seem to be making a return. Hopefully there is a way to change up the EQ's within the console OS. Edited August 11, 2020 by Emerald_Swords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcrunch061 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Man, given how quickly the DS4 lost its charge, I wonder how long the DS5 will hold up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DysectorZA Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) Does anyone know yet if the new PS5 camera is compatible with the PSVR? Or can you only use the old PS4 camera with the PSVR (but you need that special adapter they were talking about)? I would get the new PS5 camera if it was compatible with PSVR, otherwise if only the PS4 camera is compatible with the PSVR then I'll probably skip the PS5 camera.
