To get your PS4 controller to work on your PC, you can connect it using a USB cable or Bluetooth. For a wired connection, plug the controller into your PC with a USB cable, and it should be recognized automatically. For a wireless connection, hold the PS and Share buttons on your controller until the light bar begins to flash, then go to your PC's Bluetooth settings and add the device. If your PC does not natively support the controller, downloading and installing DS4Windows software may be necessary to emulate the controller as an Xbox gamepad.
