One of the best gamepads in the current generation of consoles is Sony's PlayStation 4's DualShock 4 control. The good news: Owners of a DS4 controller may use it to get almost all gamepad-ready Windows games. The bad: Unlike Microsoft's Xbox One gamepads, preparing the PS4 controller on a PC takes a bit more effort, at least in regards to wireless usage. But do not worry, we'll show you how you can play your favorite games with the PlayStation controller. Incidentally, this also works with both the old DualShock 4 controller and also the revised version published in 2016 with the PlayStation 4 Guru.
Probably the easiest option to utilize the DualShock 4 controller on the PC is the use of a conventional USB cable. Not only can the DualShock 4 controller be charged via the micro USB port, but it may also be connected to the PC like any other USB device. Windows 10 recognizes the gamepad in a few seconds and you can use it. Especially in newer games or at the Big-Picture interface of Steam, you can now use the PS4 controller instantly. However, oftentimes, you need an extra setup with a tool such as DS4Windows - more on this below.
Whether through cable or Bluetooth: You will find that the usage of this PS4 controller on the PC in many games isn't possible or just faulty. The rationale: Microsoft employs the Xinput port on Windows to connect game controls. Most games, therefore, call for a Xinput-compatible Gamecotnroller, such as the Xbox One or Xbox 360 gamepads. Sony officially doesn't encourage Xinput, which explains the reason why the PS4 controller is not recognized by games such as FIFA 19. That does not matter! Several apps jump into the breach. Possibly the best is that the free app DS4Windows, The open source application trickles Windows into believing that the connected PS4 controller is an Xbox gamepad. This works with both the wired and the Bluetooth version. In practice, this usually means that you can control virtually all controller-compatible Windows games using the DualShock 4 controller.
