Will DualShock work with PS5 games?

Tthe PlayStation 5 will support the DualShock 4, but with a big caveat: It will only work for PlayStation 4 games. That means that you will not be able to play PlayStation 5 titles using the DualShock 4 controller or other officially licensed PS4 gamepads. While this might be a bummer for many, it does make sense given the fact that the new controller will be incorporating a number of features that are not present in the DualShock 4.

Which accessories will the PS5 support?

The Platinum and Gold Wireless Headsets and third-party headsets which work via USB or audio-port will work on the PlayStation 5. Sony also mentions that specialty peripherals such as “officially licensed racing wheels, arcade sticks, and flight sticks, will work with PS5 games and supported PS4 games.”
