How To Use Astro C40 Tournament Controller on PS5

If you are like me and have 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 stay tuned to SLA (Streaming Live Academy) for the answer towards the close of this article but first let me explain a bit of back story.

The Astro C40 controller is an excellent pro controller for pro gamers or even gamers who are really serious on PS4 who want to to have something that is as similar to what the Xbox Elite Series controller is. The controller came out before that controller and it was great, but now it has lost a bit of its cool and great, but still is an excellent controller, above average for sure.

The issue is that Sony has decided to eliminate all older controllers in the so called"progress" name. Astro, the company has come out on Reddit with a representative who claims that it's due to Sony that they are unable to update the controller. The controller does not work for PlayStation 5 with PlayStation 5 games, however, it does be compatible with PlayStation 4 titles .

Apart from them responding to such a popular user's name, I am applauding them for replying and notifying us. The link to the article is on the image itself or click here . I personally won't be finding an PS5 anytime soon so I'm not too worried although personally, I like the feel that comes from using the Astro C40 controller to that of the Sony PS5 controller and the haptic feedback seems dope and can change the game to some extent however it's not a necessity.

My problem with the PS5 controller is that it lacks paddles and the joysticks are designed in a way that I don't like since I personally favor the Xbox Controller joystick layout a greater amount. Let us know if agree by voicing your opinion in the socials section under SLA as well as Streaming Live Academy.

There is hope , however and as I stated in the beginning of the article I will address the question of How to Utilize the Astro C40 Tournament Controller on PS5 as it is possible. It is possible to use this Astro C40 controller for the PS5 while playing PS4 games, however for those PS5 games, you'll to have to use an external device known as The Cronus Zen.

This tiny device will enable users to connect their Astro C40 TR controller with the brand new PS5 natively. I invite you to go through the article to find out the details and before deciding whether or not it's worth it. I personally will probably do it when I get a PS5 and I will report my findings back to you thru SLA and my personal YouTube channel, so stay tuned.

For https://squareblogs.net/partybeet30/having-a-provocative-astro-c40-works-only-under-these-conditions now I hope that Sony will be able to recognize that not all games will wish to or will choose to utilize the new haptic feedback feature. They seem hell determined to make sure that everyone does and honestly I'm not blaming them. I wouldn't want them to be in an Apple 3D Touch situation on their hands and the technology is truly amazing.

It's just that I know it's not essential and it is not something you really need for most games so forcing all gamers to have it or the controller doesn't seem right to me. By the time I get an PlayStation 5 they might have already switched gears, but we shall be able to see. At present, all we have is only the Cronus Zen, and PS4 titles on our PS5 controller.
