Does the older PS4 controller work in a PC?

[Grant Cole]

As I recall, there are currently two models of PS4 controllers. I was thinking about getting myself a PS4 soon, and since my Logitech controller recently gave out I figured I might as well get a PS4 controller that can work on both the PS4 and my PC.

I really don't have any interest in the added features of the new controller that came bundled with the PS4 Pro and Slim, so I was thinking about buying the older model instead at a cheaper price.

However, it would be useful for me if it's not pc compatible.

Anybody know the answer to this question?

The answer is Yes! It isn’t a simple plug-and-play solution like the Xbox controllers since they are made by Microsoft but you can download the drivers to make them work with windows.

Adding to that if you play your games on steam it has native support, no third party driver required. You just enable ps4 controller support in steam big picture mode. This article below shows where to go.
