Original PlayStation and PS2 Games Are Now Compatible with PS5 Technology
Reboot your PlayStation 1 and 2, you can now connect a PS5 controller using an 8BitDo device!
While the PlayStation 5 offers plenty of classic titles that can be accessed with an active PlayStation Plus membership, some key titles remain missing from its library.
However, our selection is constantly expanding – just last week Ape Escape and MediEvil were added as new games on our service among others.
However, what should you do if the game you want to play – such as classic Resident Evil or Tomb Raider titles – aren’t included yet? Either you may wait patiently until their addition takes place or use an original PlayStation 5 controller with new controls in order to play these titles on original hardware with modern flair!
How? Introducing the revolutionary 8BitDo adaptor that plugs directly into a PlayStation 1 or 2 console and emits wireless Bluetooth signal for use by PS5 controllers – so no more wire-cling! You’re living in the future.
PlayStation controllers remain unchanged since their debut, so that means playing retro games won’t require button mapping and wires dangling unrulily across your floor. Plus, there’s always the option of plugging them in instead if plugging is more your style!
However, you have the freedom to commit blasphemy by playing PlayStation games using either an Xbox or Nintendo controller instead of one designed specifically for use with PlayStation platforms – an option supported by this device! Xbox wireless controllers for Xbox One, Series X as well as Nintendo’s Switch Pro Controller as well as Wii U’s controller can all be supported on this one device.
8BitDo’s device costs $24.99 and can be ordered directly from their official website or Amazon. Additionally, adaptors exist for other consoles such as the NES, Sega Genesis/Megadrive and more.
If you prefer the comfort and luxury of modern gaming controllers when playing classics, then this controller may be just what’s necessary.
