DUALSHOCK support on the xperia XA2

[SkyBull14]

Hey there! Does the XA2 support for the DS3 or 4 controllers? Or will they get support for it anytime? Or im just not pairing them correctly?

Hi @SkyBull14, let me see if I can help out here! 

PS4 system software version 7.00 introduces support for PS4 Remote Play on phones and tablets running Android 5.0 or higher, that includes the XA2-series. The update enables usage of PS4 Remote Play with the phone's touch display for game control on Xperia devices which did not support PS4 Remote Play at launch. The preconditions are that you have upgraded their PS4 device to system software version 7.00 and installed the latest PS4 Remote Play App.

However I do not know whether Dual Shock 3 is supported or not. I would suggest that you direct that question to the Playstation support.

I hope that answered your question!

No. You misunderstood. I'm asking if I could control my phone directly and the games on it that support  a HID controller via bluetooth with a DS3 or even with a DS4 controller. Or will the XA2 gets support for wireless control at all?

Hi again, @SkyBull14.

I am sorry for misinterpreting your question. Devices running Android 10 or higher can connect to a DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controller via Bluetooth. As the XA2 is running Android 9, this is not supported.

I hope that answered your question!
