Why cant you play ps5 games with dualshock 4?

Unfortunately, the PS4 controller will only work on games for PS4 on your PS5. This is due to Sony not wanting PS5 games being played on hardware not designed for them, though it also encourages people to invest in DualSense PS5 controllers rather than resorting to PS4 controllers.

Can you play ps5 games with dualshock 4?
If you have a PS5 disc inserted, and you're trying to use a PS4 controller, then it simply won't work, you'll need the PS5 DualSense. For context, you'll know it hasn't worked as the PS5 will generate the following message: “Can't use the DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controller to play PS5 games.”

Can i play ps5 games from another country?
You can change the region on your PSN, PS4 or PS5 without a VPN, but you won't be able to buy or access any games. You need a VPN to change your IP address to the same region, so you can access the PlayStation Store and get some games!
