DualSense compatibility and PC connection guide

Check device support, connection method and individual game features.

DualSense pairs with supported devices through Bluetooth or USB. Begin by checking whether your intended device supports the controller, then consider which connection suits the features you want to use. Pairing is one part of compatibility, and individual game features vary.

On PC, haptic feedback requires USB in supported games. If haptics are a priority, check the game’s support and plan for a wired connection. The availability of Bluetooth pairing alone does not establish which features a particular game will provide.

A practical compatibility check therefore covers the device, the game and the connection. Match all three before settling on your setup. This makes the distinction between connecting a controller and accessing a specific supported feature easier to follow.
