With Remote Play, you can control your PlayStation® console remotely wherever you have a high-speed internet connection. Using the PS Remote Play app, you can control your PlayStation®5 console or PlayStation®4 console from a device in a different location. Connect the controller again and start the app. Pair the controller to the PC if it isn't done yet (hold SHARE + PS button for 3+ seconds until the led blinks, then go to bluetooth configuration and search for devices. Wireless Controller should appear, click and link). Check the 'Wireless Controller' option. You'll see a list of all devices attached to your computer (e.g., keyboards, mouses, webcams, etc.). Your PS3 controller is the option marked 'Wireless Controller (Interface number)' here. The number section pertains to the USB port that your controller is using.

Get ready

You’ll need the following to use Remote Play:

You can use your wireless controller to play games streamed from your PS4 using the Remote Play app on PC or Mac. Your wireless controller can also be used with compatible games and applications on your PC or Mac. Please visit the publisher's website to check if a game or application supports the DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controller. Connect the secondary account to PS4 Remote Play. After the controller automatically deactivates, turn it on by pressing the PS button and log-in to your primary account through the Remote Play screen. Now I assume you can use your controller because PS4 Remote Play is still being streamed from your secondary account. Not Supported Via Bluetooth.

From the second time onwards, you’ll be able to select the console that you connected to previously.

Hardcore PC gamers often swear by the precision of a mouse and keyboard - it's so popular that even console players sometimes prefer keyboards to joysticks.

However, there's no denying that leaning back with a controller in your hand is much more relaxing than crouching over a mouse and keyboard.

Fortunately, just like you can connect your mouse and keyboard to a PS4, you can likewise connect your PS4 controller to a PC.

Here are three different ways to connect your PS4 controller to a Windows 10 PC.

How to connect PS4 controller to PC with USB

If you want to connect the controller with a micro-USB cable (the same cable you use to charge the controller), you have two options.

Connect via Steam

If you're a PC gamer, chances are that you have a Steam account. Luckily, Steam makes connecting new controllers easy.

1. Open Steam and click the 'Big Picture Mode' icon in the top-right - it looks like a square with two arrows pointing out.

2. Once in Big Picture Mode, select the gear icon at the top-right to navigate to Settings.

3. Under the 'Controller' tab, click 'Controller Settings.'

4. Check the box for 'PlayStation Configuration Support.'

5. Plug the PS4 controller into your PC using the micro-USB cable. Make sure the backlight on the controller glows to indicate there's a connection.

6. Steam should automatically detect and configure your controller. Click it when it appears at the bottom of the page.

Connect via DS4 Windows Utility

If you want to use the wired controller with a non-Steam game, this is another option.

1. In a web browser on your PC, go to DS4Windows.com. Click 'Download Now.'

2. You'll be redirected to Github. Find and click the DS4Windows.zip file, and then download it onto your computer.

3. Find the downloaded .zip file on your computer and open it, and then double-click 'DS4Updater' and click 'Extract All.'

4. Pick a location for the files to be extracted to - it should be a location that you can find easily.

5. Once extracted, open the location you picked and double-click 'DS4Windows.' If you're asked to confirm that you want to run the program, click 'Run.'

6. You'll be asked where you want to save the program's files. If you don't care where they go, pick 'Appdata' - if you want to be able to move them around, pick 'Program Folder' and select a location.

7. Once you've picked a spot to save the files, click 'Step 1: Install the DS4 Driver' and let the program install its files. If you're asked whether you'd like to install the software, click 'Install.'

You can now use the PS4 controller on your PC with a micro-USB cable, although you may need to restart your computer first.

How to connect PS4 controllerto PC with Bluetooth

If your PC supports Bluetooth - and if it was made in the last ten years, chances are it does - you can pair and connect your controller wirelessly.

This method also works for the newer PS5 DualSense controller, although that controller might not be supported by every game.

1. Open your PC's search menu (you can press the Windows key + Q to open it immediately) and search for 'Bluetooth.'

2. When 'Bluetooth and other devices settings' appears in the search results, click on it.

3. Make sure your computer has Bluetooth enabled by setting the switch labeled 'Bluetooth' to 'On.'

4. Hold down the Playstation and Share buttons on your controller until the backlight starts flashing.

5. On your PC, click 'Add Bluetooth or other device,' and select 'Bluetooth.'

6. You'll see your PS4 controller listed as 'Wireless Controller.' Click it to finalize the connection. If you're asked for a passcode, enter '0000.'
