PS3 compatibility[edit | edit source]

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[edit | edit source]

  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.

Web Browser[edit | edit source]

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.
