Can I Use A Ps4 Controller I Got To Connect To My New Ps5?

The simplest way to connect the conteoller is to plug in a USB charging cord from your ps 4 conteoller to the PS5. When you have set up a connection, you can disconnect the cord if you want to.

Even if you don't have a USB cord you can still comnect them through Bluetooth by going to Settings, then Accessories then Bluetooth Accessories.

From there press and hold the Share and PlayStation button to go into Bluetooth pairing. When "Accessories found" shows up, select it & your controller is ready.

Here's what you can do with a PS4 controller on PS5:

Play PS4 games: You can enjoy your entire PS4 game library on your PS5 using a PS4 controller. This includes both digital and disc-based games.

Use Remote Play: If you're streaming PS5 games to another device using Remote Play, you can control those games with a PS4 controller connected to that device.

Here's what you can't do with a PS4 controller on PS5:

Play PS5 games: PS5 games are designed specifically for the new DualSense controller, which features innovative haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. These features aren't available on the PS4 controller, so it won't work for PS5 games.

Here's how to connect a PS4 controller to PS5:

Turn on your PS5.

Connect the PS4 controller to the PS5 using a USB cable.

Press the PS button on the controller.

The controller will be recognized by the PS5 and you can start using it.

Additional notes:

You can also connect a PS4 controller to PS5 wirelessly by pairing it via Bluetooth.

If you're having trouble connecting a PS4 controller to PS5, try resetting the controller by pressing the small reset button on the back.

Keep in mind that using a PS4 controller on PS5 for PS4 games won't provide the same level of immersion as using the DualSense controller, as you'll miss out on the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.
