From my experience, I’ve tried using my PS4 controller on PS5 games, but it doesn’t work. I had to switch to the DualSense for PS5-exclusive titles.

Hey! PS4 controllers can only work on PS5 when playing PS4 games via backward compatibility. For actual PS5 games, you’ll need to use a DualSense controller.

The short answer: Nope, PS4 controllers don't work with PS5 games. You gotta use the DualSense controller!

Honestly, just invest in the DualSense. PS4 controllers won't cut it for PS5 games.
