If you're still on the fence about picking up a PS5 at launch this Holiday Season, there's some good news that may entice fighting game fans looking to be PS5 ready. Sony's official PlayStation Blog confirmed that legacy PS4 fightsticks and pads will indeed be compatible with PlayStation 5.

  Which existing PS4 peripherals/accessories will work on PS5?

  • Specialty peripherals, such as officially licensed racing wheels, arcade sticks, and flight sticks, will work with PS5 games and supported PS4 games.
  • The Platinum and Gold Wireless Headsets, as well as third-party headsets that connect via USB port or audio jack, will work on PS5 (the headset companion app is not compatible with PS5).
