How To Use Astro C40 Tournament Controller on PS5

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

The Astro C40 controller a decent pro controller for pro gamers or gamers with a lot of passion on PS4 that want to own something similar or close to excellent as that of the Xbox Elite Series controller is. The controller first came out prior to this controller and was great, but now it has lost a bit of its cool and good, but still is an excellent controller that is that is above average.

The problem is that Sony decided to nuke all older controllers in the so-called name of progress. Astro, the company, has been spotted on Reddit through a representative, saying that it is due to Sony that they are unable to upgrade the controller. The controller does not work for PlayStation 5 with PlayStation 5 games, but it will work on PlayStation 4 titles .

In addition to their replying to such a sexy user name I applaud them for replying and telling us. The link to the post is located on the image or click here . I personally will not be able to find a PS5 in the near future, so I'm not too worried however, personally I like the feeling that comes from the Astro C40 controller over that of the Sony PS5 controller and the tactile feedback is great and game changing to a certain extent but it's not something you should.

My issue with PS5 controller is that it lacks paddles and the joysticks have been designed in a way that I find unsatisfactory since I hand down favor the Xbox Controller joystick layout a greater amount. Tell us if you like it by sharing your thoughts in the socials section under SLA and Streaming Live Academy.

There is hope though and, as I said in the beginning of this article, I'll address the question of How to Use Astro C40 Tournament Controller on PS5 as it is possible. It is possible to use your Astro C40 controller with the PS5 when playing PS4 games, but to play those PS5 games you're going need a third party device called The Cronus Zen.

This little device will allow users to connect their Astro C40 TR controller with the brand etruesports.com new PS5 natively. I suggest you and read about what it is then decide whether or not it's worth it. Personally, I'll probably go for it when I get a PS5 and I will report my findings back to you via SLA as well as my own YouTube channel, so be sure to stay.

In the meantime, I'm hoping Sony will recognize that not all games will be able or want to use the new haptic feedback feature. They seem hell bound to ensure that everybody does, and 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 really cool.

It's just that I realize it's not essential and it's not something you really need in the majority of games, so requiring all gamers use it or no controller seems overkill to me. When I do end up getting the PlayStation 5 they might have already changed their mind and we'll see then. At present, all we have are our current Cronus Zen as well as PS4 games that are for our PS5 controller.
