It has been said on occasion that the compatibility between the accessories of the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 , as well as vice versa, are very well regulated by Sony, so generally not There are loose ends, also leading to events such as the one that concerns us today, where although the new DualSense of PlayStation 5 does not work on the PlayStation 4 , there is a method for it to work on the Nintendo Switch, as well as on the PlayStation 3.
As we can see in BrokenGamezHDR’s tweet, through a 8bitdo adapter we can connect the PlayStation 5 controller to the Nintendo Switch using the USB port that we can find in the console dock , so that once done this, the controller will work without any problem, although we will lose some of the exclusive functions of the DualSense such as the feedback on the triggers, something that is expected to be very influential in games generation.
On the other hand, as he has been able to prove, the PlayStation 3 also seems to be compatible with the controllers of the PlayStation 5 , so it finally seems that the DualSense is expressly incompatible with the PlayStation 4 taking into account what has been seen with these two consoles.
