Do you need a ps5 controller to play ps5 games?
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.”

Use the cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol (or alcohol wipe) to clean the panels' ridges. Clear out any dirt or dead skin that lie in the creases. Use the compressed air to blow away any dust or debris that made its way onto the controller's circuitry.
