Nope, the PS5 DualSense controller isn't officially compatible with the PS4. If you want to use it, you'll need a workaround via a PC with Remote Play!
Hot take: Just stick with the DualShock 4 on PS4. No need to complicate things.
I've tried it myself, and the PS5 controller doesn't work directly on the PS4. Your best bet is using PS Remote Play on a PC, but it鈥檚 a bit of a hassle.
