Connecting the Controllers of ps 4

Are you a gaming enthusiast who needs a little help hooking up two controllers to your PS4? You’ve come to the right place! In this blog post, we’ll show you how it’s done so that you can get back to playing with your friends in no time. Let’s get started!

Introduction

Connecting two or more controllers to your PlayStation 4 is a great way to have yourself and your friends join in on the same console gaming sessions. With this setup, you can play multiplayer games in split-screen mode, or even use multiple controllers for one game – should the game support it. Fortunately, connecting multiple controllers to your PS4 system is pretty simple, and all you need to do is follow these steps.

The PS4 has two different types of controller ports for connecting both wired and wireless controllers. To connect multiple controllers wirelessly, you need to utilize both ports and switch between them by pressing the PlayStation button on the left side of each controller. You can also use a USB cable if you’re playing with just one controller and don’t want to swap ports. In addition, if you’re using a wireless Dualshock 4 controller with your PS4 system you can also connect up an additional Dualshock controller via Bluetooth without any adapters or extra hardware required.

Each controller will require power in order to be used, so keep that in mind when connecting multiplers controllers at once––in this case it might be best to make sure any additional batteries are charged before playing with multiple players.

Now that we’ve gone over the basics of how the consoles supports multiple controller connections let’s get into how exactly they all get connected!

Preparation

Before attempting to connect two controllers to a PS4, the user should make sure that both devices are charged. Depending on the type of controller, this can be done by connecting it with the system with a USB cable, or through wireless charging. The user should also ensure that his/her console is up-to-date with the latest software update, as this could have an impact on whether or not it recognizes the dual controllers.

Once both devices have been sufficiently charged and updated, they can now be connected to the console.

How to connect two controllers to ps4

The first step in connecting a dual shock controller to a PlayStation 4 is to plug the USB cable into the front of the console. The port will be found on the left side and can easily be identified by its distinctive DS4 shape.

Next, simply press and hold the PS4 button on the controller for three seconds to pair it with your console. Once you see a light bar appear around the home button, you are ready to play!

If your console supports Bluetooth connections, then you can pair your controller without any cables. To do this, press and hold both Share and PS4 buttons for three seconds for them to sync automatically. You will know when this pairing is successful when you see a flashing blue light at both ends of the controller.

Connecting the Second Controller

To get started, you will need two player controllers connected to your PlayStation 4. To begin, press the power button on your console to turn it on. When the system boots up and you see a home menu, press the PS button located atop the first controller. This will prompt the console to recognize one of your controllers.

Once your first controller is connected, you’ll need to connect a second one in order to use two-player mode. To do this, hold down both the share and player two buttons on your second controller at the same time until both characters appear onscreen.

You might notice that once both players are connected, only one of them shows up as “Player 1” and other as “Player 2”. Player 1 is always sent to control Player 1 in any game or app you open with either of these controllers – if that person does not want this responsibility every time, make sure to check for any game-specific options that allow for customizing or switching who controls which character before beginning any activity!

In addition to connecting several controllers simultaneously for multi-player gaming sessions, they can also be used at different times as long as each controller remains turned off in between uses – just remember to sync them up again next time they are needed!

Troubleshooting

If you’re having trouble connecting two controllers to your PS4, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Ensure that both controllers are paired with your console. To do this, press and hold the PlayStation button on each controller and the Share button simultaneously for a few seconds until the lightbar begins to flash rapidly. This indicates that pairing was successful.
2. Try connecting them again. If that doesn’t work, make sure each controller has enough battery life by checking their power levels on the PS4’s main menu. If either of them is running low, plug in the controller via USB cable to charge them up.
3. Try restarting your PlayStation system and then connecting one controller at a time until you find success.
4. If after several attempts at this method neither of the controllers are able to connect, it could be an issue with your console itself rather than either one of the controllers; consider bringing it in for repair or contacting Sony customer service if necessary.

At the end of the day, it’s important to remember that not every game or system allows for two controllers to be connected at once. If you’re looking to game with a friend, make sure you check compatibility first. Additionally, if you have any technical trouble getting your two controllers synced up, don’t hesitate to contact customer service or consult the support section of your video game console manufacturer.

With a little luck and some know-how, you should be able to connect two controllers to your PlayStation 4 in no time. Happy gaming!
