PS3 compatibility

Unless stated otherwise, any game working with DualShock 3 and not relying on functions of buttons only available on the DualShock 3, vibration or wireless, should be compatible.

Incompatible games (and buttons) should works with a DS4 emulated as a DS3 (e.g.: using GIMX)

Wireless

1. Connect DS4 with wire to PS3 then turn on.
2. Go to Accessory settings.
3. Select Manage Bluetooth Devices, and scan for device.
4. While scanning hold the PS & Share buttons on the DS4.
5. Select Wireless Controller. The DS4 light should now be white.
6. Unplug wire and test it out.

Note: The DualShock 4 isn’t fully supported on PS3 so features such as vibrate, Six Axis and PS Button will not function.

Incompatible games

• Gran Turismo 5
• Gran Turismo 6
• Grand Theft Auto V
• Jak and Daxter HD Collection (only the analog sticks work)
• Metal Gear Solid HD Collecion (Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker works)
• Resistance 3
• Double Dragon Neon

Web Browser

DS4 layout web browser

Despite having a whopping great trackpad on the new PS4 controller, it can't be used in the browser, so you're stuck with the thumbsticks and d-pad.

The touchpad has also been updated (FW 1.70), allowing you to navigate the on-screen keyboard using the DUALSHOCK 4 touchpad.

When the on-screen keyboard is open, pushing in the right thumbstick puts it into a motion-based mode where you can select keys by tilting the controller. This can be surprisingly accurate.

Pushing in The D-pad acts like the TAB key on a keyboard, focusing on links.

The browser can be used while a game is in progress.
