PS4 controller support PS5 Version

Can’t find anyone talking about this, but do we know if there is an answer for why we can’t use 3rd party controllers(ps4 controller) on the ps5 version of apex? 
I know at least 15 people that are not playing the ps5 version because they can’t use there ps4 controller with back paddles. 

cheers

  • @YaBoiSmidThis is a Sony thing due to the PS5 controller being different. No PS5 game works with a DS4 controller.

    I'd checkout Aim for PS5 controllers with back buttons.

  • I think people needed to see the writing on the wall on this one.  We all knew that next gen was coming, and that you can't play PS5 games on a dual shock.  I bought an AIM controller a couple months ago, and I'm super happy with it.  I actually like it a lot better than my now-almost-useless Scuf Infinity!

    It's really on Sony to get on the ball and produce a back button assembly for the dual sense.  I'm honestly shocked that they've left it this long already.

    I haven't found the next gen update all that compelling yet so far.  You guys might as well keep playing on  the PS4 version until something changes - got a controller, Sony released back buttons, Apex gives us 120 fps...
