You can use Bluetooth to connect your DualShock 4 (DS4) controller to your PlayStation 4 (PS4) for remote play.
To begin, make sure your DS4 controller is charged and turned on. Then, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the PS button (the one in the middle of the controller) and the SHARE button (located on the left side of the touchpad) simultaneously for about 3 seconds. This will put your DS4 controller into pairing mode.
2. Once in pairing mode, the white LED light on the back of the controller will blink rapidly, indicating that it is ready to be paired with a device.
3. On your PS4 console, go to the main menu and select “Settings.”
4. In the Settings menu, scroll down and select “Devices.”
5. Within the Devices menu, select “Bluetooth Devices.”
6. On your PS4, select the option “Add Bluetooth or other device.”
7. A list of available Bluetooth devices should appear on your screen. Look for the option labeled “Wireless Controller” and select it.
8. Your PS4 will then attempt to pair with your DS4 controller. Once the pairing is successful, you will see a confirmation message on your screen, and the LED light on your controller will turn a solid color, indicating that it is connected.
Now you can use your DS4 controller to play games remotely on your PS4 using Bluetooth. Keep in mind that the range of Bluetooth is limited, so make sure you are within a reasonable distance from your PS4 console for a stable connection.
Additionally, it’s worth noting that you can also connect your DS4 controller to your PC or mobile device via Bluetooth for remote play if supported by the respective platform. The process may vary slightly depending on the device, so refer to the specific instructions for your PC or mobile device.
Using Bluetooth, you can easily connect your DS4 controller to your PS4 for remote play. Just make sure to follow the steps mentioned above, and you’ll be able to enjoy your games wirelessly with ease.
