If you are like me and bought an Astro C40 Tournament Controller and you are wondering how to use the Astro C40 Tournament Controller on PS5 I have the solution for you, so stay tuned to SLA (Streaming Live Academy) to find the answer at the conclusion of this article, but before that, let me provide a little background information.
Its Astro C40 controller is an excellent pro controller for pro gamers or gamers with a lot of passion using the PS4 who wish to own something that is as good as the Xbox Elite Series controller is. The controller came out before that controller and it was great, but now it's lost some of its cool and great, but still is an excellent controller, above average for sure.
The problem is that Sony made the decision to destroy any older controllers in the so-called name of progress. Astro the company has made an appearance on Reddit through a representative, lyncconf.com saying that it's because of Sony that they can't upgrade the controller. The controller doesn't work with PlayStation 5 with PlayStation 5 games, however it will be compatible with PlayStation 4 titles .
Apart from them responding to such a popular user's name I applaud their response and letting us know. The link to the post is located on the image or click here . I personally won't be finding an PS5 anytime soon so I'm not worried, but personally I prefer the feel that comes from an Astro C40 controller over that of the Sony PS5 controller and the tactile feedback sounds great and game changing to a good degree but it's not something you should.
My issue with PS5 controller is the fact that it doesn't have paddles and the joysticks are constructed in a way I do not like as I personally favor more the Xbox Controller joystick layout a much more. Tell us if you agree by voicing your opinion in the socials under SLA or Streaming Live Academy.
There is hope , however and as I stated at the start of the article I will answer the question How To Use Astro C40 Tournament Controller on PS5 as it is possible. It is possible to use the Astro C40 controller on the PS5 while playing PS4 games, however to play those PS5 games, you'll to have to use an external device known as the Cronus Zen.
This tiny device will enable you to use your Astro C40 TR controller on PS5's new PS5 natively. I encourage you to 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 buy a PS5 and will be able to report my findings to you via SLA and my personal YouTube channel, so be sure to stay.
At the moment, I'm hoping that Sony will recognize that not every game will be able or want to utilize the new haptic feedback feature. They seem to be hell bound to making sure that everyone does and honestly I don't blame them. I wouldn't want them to get the Apple 3D Touch situation on their hands. And the technology is really cool.
It's just that I know that it's not a necessity and it is not something you really need for most games so forcing everyone use it or no controller seems overkill to me. If I decide to purchase an PlayStation 5 they might have already reversed course however we will see then. At present, all we have is our current Cronus Zen and PS4 games that are on our PS5 controller.
