How To Use Astro C40 Tournament Controller on PS5

If you're like me and purchased the Astro C40 Tournament Controller and you are wondering how to use the Astro C40 Tournament Controller on PS5 I got the answer for you, so stay tuned to SLA (Streaming Live Academy) for the answer towards the end of this article, but first let me provide a little the background.

Its Astro C40 controller is a pretty good pro controller for pro gamers or just really hardcore gamers using the PS4 who wish to be able to have something as similar to or similar to what that of the Xbox Elite Series controller is. The controller was released prior to this controller and was great, but now it's lost a little of its appeal and quality, but still is a good controller above average for sure.

The issue is that Sony has decided to eliminate older controllers under the name of progress. Astro, the company has come out on Reddit through a representative, ello.co saying that it's because of Sony that they cannot upgrade the controller. The controller does not work for PlayStation 5 with PlayStation 5 games, however it will be compatible on PlayStation 4 titles .

Besides them replying to such a sexy user name I applaud their response and letting us know. Link to article can be found on the image or click here . I personally won't be finding a PS5 anytime soon so I'm not concerned, but personally I prefer the feeling and feel of using the Astro C40 controller over that of the Sony PS5 controller and the haptic feedback seems dope and game changing to a good degree, but not a must.

My issue with PS5 controller is that it lacks paddles and the joysticks have been made in a manner that I do not like as I personally preference to the Xbox Controller joystick layout a much more. Tell us if you agree by voicing your opinion in the socials under SLA as well as Streaming Live Academy.

There is hope , however and as I stated at the start of this article, I'll address the question of How to Utilize the Astro C40 Tournament Controller on PS5 since it is possible. You can use the Astro C40 controller on the PS5 while playing PS4 games, but for PS5 titles you are going to need to use a third party device called the Cronus Zen.

This little device will allow users to connect their Astro C40 TR controller with PS5's new PS5 natively. I suggest you and read about what it does and then decide if purchasing is worth it. Personally, I'll probably go for it once I purchase a PS5 and I will report my findings back to you via SLA and my personal YouTube channel, so stay tuned.

At the moment, I'm hoping that Sony will recognize that not all games are going to wish to or will choose to be able to benefit from the latest haptic feedback technology. They seem hell determined to make sure that everyone does and honestly I can't blame them for I would not want them to have an Apple 3D Touch situation on their hands and the technology is truly amazing.

It's only that I know it's not essential and isn't something you really need for the majority of games. So forcing everybody to have to use it or else no controller seems overkill to me. When I do get an PlayStation 5 they might have already changed their mind and we'll see then. At present, all we have is only the Cronus Zen and PS4 games that are in our PS5 controller.
