PS4 controller not connecting to Xbox windows 10

Flame Che · Dec 10, 2022

Hi, I've been trying to use cloud gaming for the past hour and a half but it just doesn't seem to work.

I'm using a PlayStation 4 Dualshock controller, I've tried with Bluetooth and using a cable. Neither have worked for me. I'm not trying to use cloud gaming on the web, I'm using the xbox application for this. I have tried looking for tips on Google and YouTube but found nothing.

If anyone can help me out, please respond to this.

Thank you

:)

Hi,

Microsoft likes controllers to have native Xinput support with the games sold on the Windows Store and Game Pass titles. This means Xbox 360 controllers and Xbox One controllers. Stream can use PS4 because it can emulate PS4 controllers with Xinput in the
Steam application.

For PS4 controllers to work on Windows 10 games, you're going to need a third party application. The most popular one is called
DS4 Windows. I'm not familiar with its actual set up however as I don't own any PS4 controllers. But basically, the DS4 Windows application makes Windows 10 believe that your PS4 controller
is an Xbox controller.

Hi,

Playing cloud via the Xbox App or a browser needs a controller that is XINPUT compatable. Unfortunately, Sony Dual Shock 4 controllers are not compatible, not on their own least.

It should be possible via a wrapper such as DS4Windows

DS4Windows allows your DS4 to emulate a 360 controller. Once a 360 controller is detected, cloud games should work. How well they'll work I'm not sure though.

Sony does not provide an official driver for their controllers under Windows, without the driver it will not function

The Xbox One controller is a plug and play device. If the Windows 10 PC can't detect the controller, it may be due to Windows not automatically updating the controller's drivers. To update your Xbox
One controller on Windows 10, kindly visit this
link and follow the steps provided.

We also recommend checking if there are updates available for your Windows 10 device. See

How to get software and driver updates for Windows 10 for the steps.
