Sony Reveals Which PS4 Accessories Are PS5 Compatible
Sony has just released some new information regarding the PS5. Namely which PS4 peripherals will be compatible with the upcoming PlayStation 5. If you’re like me and have a full investment of PS4 products you don’t want to see become obsolete due to the new hardware then you’re in luck. A good number of PS4 accessories will work with the shiny new console. The following information comes from the PlayStation Blog.
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.
Well there you have it. I expect we will get even more information regarding this during the next State of Play on August 6, 2020.
