Can You Use PS4 Controller On PS5 Remote Play?
Games on the PS5 can be played on other devices with a DualShock 4 via Remote Play.
The remote play feature on the PS5 is an updated version of the remote play feature on the PS4, therefore it is not fully new.
Users can use and operate their PS5 from other devices like a PS4, computer, or smartphone. As long as you have a reliable internet connection, you may use your smartphone to play any PS5 game from anywhere, including another room in your house or outside of it.
PlayStation suggests you have internet download speeds of at least 5 Mbps, but at least 15 Mbps for an improved experience. The internet must be accessible on both your PS5 and the remote device for them to function; they don’t have to be on the same network, though that would enhance performance.
Additionally, make sure your mobile device is connected to your PS5 and has the free remote play software downloaded. The remote app won’t be able to power on your PS5 remotely unless it is either turned on or in standby mode.

This is the last step; all you need to do is get the PlayStation Remote Play App to connect with your PS5 while the PS4 controller is connected to the device you are using PlayStation Remote Play on. This will let you use a PS4 Controller on your PS5 to play PS5 Games by telling your console that you are actually using your mobile device or PC to play the game.
