Can You Use A Ps4 Controller On Xbox

broken image


Unlike other devices (iOS, Android, macOS, Windows), it is not easy to pair AirPods with PS4 and Xbox. But if you are a gamer and love your wireless buds, you might want to use them comfortably while gaming. So, despite the process not being straightforward, here is how to connect and use AirPods with PS4 and Xbox Controller.

Can You Use A Ps4 Controller On Xbox

Note: The following method works for original AirPods, AirPods 2nd Generation, and the latest AirPods Pro.

How to Connect AirPods with PS4 Controller

Since you can not directly connect any version of AirPods, including the newest AirPods Pro to PS4, we will have to use a Bluetooth dongle. For this, we have opted for AirFly Pro from Twelve South, which we reviewed a while back.

Alternatively, you go to the upper left menus and go to View Big Picture Mode. Click on the gear icon in the top right (Settings), then Controller Settings. Check the PS4 Support box or the XBox Support box, depending on your controller. Plug in your controller. To connect a wired headset to PlayStation 4, 5, or Xbox One, or next-gen Xbox Series S/X consoles, you just plug them into the controller, using the socket at the base in the middle. To connect a PS4 controller to the Xbox One, use the CronusMAX PLUS adapter, which is one of the more reliable ways to pair the controller and console. Plug the CronusMAX PLUS into your internet-connected PC and it will automatically install the drivers. Apr 28, 2020 Unfortunately, despite both the PS4 and Xbox One using Bluetooth to connect their controllers to their respective consoles, there's no way of using your Xbox One controller on your PS4 natively. If you're a PlayStation fan but have always been envious of the Xbox One controller, your days of pining for Microsoft's design are over. At first, I took things at face value when Activision Support said that controllers weren't supported for Call of Duty Mobile. It was from an official source, after all, and it seemed to be such a cut-and-dry issue. But as I'm learning, things are a lot more complicated with Call of Duty Mobile than they necessarily appear, and you can, in fact, use a controller to play this game through.

  1. Connect the AirFly Pro to the Dualshock 4's 3.5mm headphone jack
  2. Put the AirFly Pro in TX (transmit mode). Now, hold the button for few seconds until you see the light flashing. The device is ready to accept pairing
  3. Open the AirPods case, with both pieces inside it. Now, press and hold the pairing button, which is at the backside of the charging case. After a few seconds, you will see the AirPods case light flash white
  4. Give a few seconds for AirFly Pro and AirPods to pair. After pairing is successful, the AirFly will have a white light. The AirPods case light will glow green (if the case is adequately charged) or amber (if less than one full charge remains). Nevertheless, your AirPods are now connected with AirFly Pro, which is connected to the PS4 Controller

Drawback: You can only hear the chat and other incoming sounds. You can not talk back as AirFly Pro can only transmit to the headphones. It can not receive your voice chat audio.

Other Alternatives to AirFly Pro for connecting AirPods to PS4

  • PS4 Wireless Bluetooth Dongle: It allows you to listen and talk through your Apple AirPods while you game. We have not tested it, though
  • Avantree Leaf Class 1 Long Range USB Bluetooth Audio Transmitter: It claims to have Talk Mode that allows chatting, though we have not tested it and thus can not confirm or deny.

Another method is to use the Remote Play app on your iPhone and Android. You have to first register and activate it with your PS4. It is easy. After that, go to the Bluetooth settings of your smartphone and pair the AirPods.

This method has its own share of hits, misses, and jerks. But, since PlayStation allows only officially licensed wireless headphones to connect seamlessly, there are some sacrifices to accept if you wish to use AirPods with PS4.

Finally, you may also try connecting the AirPods with your smart TV. If it supports, then the incoming audio from PlayStation will be routed to AirPods via the smart TV.

That's how simple it is. Let's now see what's the workaround for the Xbox One!

How to Connect AirPods to Xbox One Controller

There's no direct way to use your AirPods with your Xbox One but don't worry, we've found a way out for the same. But this method would only work if you have the Xbox App and it must be on your iOS device (iPad or iPhone). So here's how you can pair it.

  1. Launch the Xbox App on your iPhone or iPad once you download it from the App Store.
  2. Now tap on the three-persons icon from the top of the screen.
  3. Tap on Start a Party. You can also join the party if you already know who's doing it, else, you start a party and invite people to get started.
  4. Once done, connect your AirPods with your iPhone just by opening the case of the AirPods as you usually do. This will now pair your AirPods with the Xbox One through the app instantly!

This way, you can communicate with the people who are participating in the party that you joined or created from your iPhone. That's the only workaround if you are planning to use AirPods with your Xbox One.

For a plug-and-play solution, grabbing yourself the official Sony Wireless Adaptor is the best way forward. Simply plug the adaptor into a USB port in your PC and turn on your DualShock 4 controller by pressing the home button. The two devices will detect one another after a few seconds and you'll be good to go.

Play Steam games with a PS4 controller

Since Steam added native DualShock 4 support, this method is another nice and easy solution for playing the contents of your Steam library with your PS4 controller without a whole lot of faff. Boot up Steam, make sure it's up to date, plug your PS4 controller into your PC and you're away. You'll be able to use the controller in Big Picture Mode, and games in your library will display DualShock 4 inputs.

If you have any issues with specific titles using this solution, you should try out method number three which should resolve any problems.

This solution requires a third-party software in order to work, so head on over to the DS4Windows site and make sure you have the most up-to-date version. Extract both files - DS4Windows and DS4Update - and launch DS4Windows to run the installer. You'll be presented with a pop-up window that will give you instructions on how to install the driver.

Now, you'll need to connect your Dualshock 4 controller via micro USB or a Bluetooth dongle - the latter will require pairing. As soon as it's plugged into your PC, the controller will be ready to use. Press and hold the home button to turn it on and away you go.

Using DS4Windows lets you customise your Dualshock 4 experience on PC to a significant degree. You can use the touchpad as a mouse, set the lightbar to change to reflect battery power , or turn it off completely, and even set and switch between profiles that you can configure for your controller. If you prefer to fine tune your peripherals, DS4Windows is for you. If you want to plug and play, the official wireless dongle is the best way to connect your PS4 controller to your PC.

Troubleshooting

If you run into issues with DS4Windows, your first port of call should be to access the settings tab and check the Hide DS4 box. This is necessary when a game already supports the controller, making DS4Windows superfluous. Which is when you might run into problems.

The second file you extracted from the DS4Windows download will also come in handy if you run into issues. DS4Update is responsible for keeping DS4Windows up to date, so be sure to run it at intervals to make sure you have the latest version, and if you experience any hiccups.
