Key points
- Uses standard Bluetooth for wireless communication.
- Even though lacking XInput, some games do offer native support for the controller without any extra software necessary.
Windows
- The controller works natively as a DirectInput controller; use DS4Windows to add XInput compatibility.
- You may want to enable the option "Hide DS4 Controller" so that some games don't detect two controllers at once, as well as "Start Minimized".
Using wirelessly
- Works same way with both wired and wireless modes and uses standard bluetooth for wireless mode.

Support in games
- While most modern games require XInput, some games have native support for Dualshock 4.
Native support without prompts
- Following entrys work with Dualshock 4 directly with correct button placement, but do not offer dualshock button prompts, instead usually 360 prompts are given. In some cases, all XInput controllers have to be disabled or unplugged for Dualshock 4 to work.
- Games with generic DirectInput support do also work with the controller, however button placements may be out of place and need to be rebinded. See game specific article for rebinding support.
Games with DualShock button prompts
- Please note, that this is only list for games that offer Dualshock button prompts, some may require modding or using XInput wrapper. Some games on the list only offer DualShock prompts on certain systems. Refer to game specific articles for details.

Other information
- Worn analog sticks are a known issue and Sony should've changed rubber material for new controllers.[1] If the controller is still under warranty contact Sony or the retailer for replacement instructions.[2] Worn sticks can also be replaced manually (follow this guide).
