PlayStation 5 accessories are officially released! And with that, the new DualSense controller. There's not a whole lot you can do with it just yet, native s. According to a number of outlets including Eurogamer, IGN and others, following a recent system update, a new PS5 Remote Play has started showing up on the PS4 that allows you to stream games. All SCUF controllers will work with supported PS4 games only on Sony’s new console, the PlayStation 5; however, they will not be compatible with PS5 games on the PS5. What this means is SCUF will work with existing PS4 titles like God of War, The Last of Us Part II, Ghost of Tsushima on the PS5 thanks to backwards compatibility for games.

Sony has updated the Remote Play feature by giving players the option of using the PS4 console to stream PS5 games. Remote Play also allows you to access the PS5 from not only the PS4, but other devices like PC or a mobile. Sony's FAQ didn't mention PS Vita, so it remains to be seen if you can also connect to the PS5 using Sony's hand-held device.

The ability to stream PS5 games using the PS4 console could be useful, depending on the setup. If you own both generations of consoles, the PS4 could go in one place, the PS5 in another, and you could access PS5 games anytime from the PS4 using Remote Play. But considering that a lot of PS4 games will be backwards compatible on PS5--so you could just play both PS4 and PS5 games on the PS5--this new Remote Play feature between PS4 and PS5 might be underutilized.

Sony also added support for three additional players in Remote Play sessions, increasing the possibilities of local multiplayer sessions. With these new additions, it's apparent that Sony will continue to push the Remote Play feature and encourage players to utilize it. Remote Play started with the PS4 and freed players from only having to play their games in the living room, or wherever their console was located. Players could access their PS4 from computer, mobile device, PlayStation Vita, or even another TV in the house.

The PlayStation 5 releases on November 12. If you're curious about the console's hands-on impressions, check out our PlayStation 5 review to see what we thought of the next-generation console. Mat Paget, GameSpot's reviewer, commented, 'At launch the PS5 is an excellent console that paves the way for a promising future where gaming experiences can evolve in interesting ways and the process of experiencing them is streamlined. Its custom SSD, unique DualSense controller, and powerful specs draw a distinct line between last generation and the next...And even though its backwards compatibility implementation isn't perfect, it's still exciting to know that I can play most of my PS4 library on this new console with few if any issues--I even tested Guitar Hero Live, which works very well.'

When the Sony PlayStation 5 debuted in November, it came with a ton of new and significant upgrades. Among them were 4K resolution, storage space, faster load times, and the DualSense controller. The DualSense is a departure from the Sony's usual controller brand, the DualShock.

You can still use a PS4 DualShock on your PS5, but only to play backwards compatible PS4 games. You can't use it to play PS5 games directly on the console.

However, you can use a DualShock controller to remotely play PS5 games on your phone, tablet, PC, or Mac through the Remote Play app.

For those who find the DualShock 4 more accessible - or those who simply don't want to buy new controllers -here's how to use your PS4 controller with the PS5 console and games.

How to connect a PS4 controller to a PS5 with a cable

1. Plug the micro USB cable for the PS4 DualShock controller into any available PS5 USB ports.

2. Turn your Ps5 on, and then press the PS button to turn on the DualShock 4.

3. When prompted, select which user is using the controller from a list of profiles.

5. On the Bluetooth Accessories page, you'll see all connected devices that are registered to the console. Using the unconnected PS4 controller, hold down the share button and the PS4 logo button in the controller's center simultaneously until there's a flashing light. This means the DualShock is in pairing mode.

6. Once in pairing mode, the PS4 controller will appear under 'Accessories found' on the Bluetooth Accessories page. Using the controller that's already connected, scroll down to where you see 'Dualshock 4' and select it.

7. A prompt will appear asking, 'Do you want to register this Bluetooth accessory.' Choose 'Yes,' and wait for a colored light will show on the PS4 controller indicating pairing was successful.
