You’ll have to use a good, old-fashioned mouse and keyboard instead. One word of warning, however: for some unfathomable reason, the DS4 does not work to navigate the PS Now menu outside of games. You can click the right side of the touchpad as Start and the left side as Select if needed otherwise, every other button is the same as on the DS3, including the PS button for bringing up the menu. Once your DS4 is connected to your PC, you can use it for any PS Now game.
To take advantage of the PS3 game-streaming service on your PC, just download the app from Sony, then boot it up.Īlthough you can use pretty much any controller for PS Now, a DualShock 3 or 4 is your best bet.
At least the PC app allows native DS4 support - for the most part. PlayStation Now used to work on smart TVs, PS3s, PS Vitas, PSTVs and more now it’s been restricted to PS4s and Windows PCs. While not every title works perfectly with the PS4 controller, you can still play games like Okami HD, Assassin's Creed Origins, Wolfenstein II, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered. There's no official list of DS4-compatible games, but the PC Gaming Wiki keeps pretty respectable tabs on the topic. All you have to do to enable it is enter the game’s settings, find its controller configuration options, and tell it that you have a DS4 hooked up. Whether you game through Steam, GOG or direct downloads, your game may have an option for native PS4 controller support.

While it’s admittedly a pain to do this for every game in your library, it’s also fairly foolproof. After that, you can change each button’s functionality, use the touchpad like a mouse and even pick a color for the light bar. Check the box that says “PS4 Configuration Support.” You’ll be asked to register your PS4 controller to your Steam account. Once you’re there, click on Settings (the gear icon in the upper right), and Controller Settings in the leftmost column. (Click the controller icon in the upper-right corner.) Big Picture is Steam’s living room mode, and for some reason, it’s the only way you can get into the nitty-gritty of controller settings. Then, open Steam and activate Big Picture mode. First, ensure that your DS4 is hooked up to your PC.
