Fortnite, the popular battle royale game developed by Epic Games, offers cross-platform play, allowing players on different devices to compete against each other.
If you’re wondering how to play Fortnite on both PC and PS4, this blog post will guide you through the process of setting up cross-platform gaming.
Method To Play Fortnite on PC with PS4
Compatibility Issue
While Fortnite does support a range of controllers like the Xbox One, you might have noticed that trying to connect a PlayStation 4 or 5 controller directly to your PC for Fortnite doesn’t work. Don’t worry, I’ve got a workaround for you.
DS4 Windows Tool
We’ll use a handy tool called “DS4 Windows” to make this possible. This tool mimics inputs from other controllers and makes your PC believe you’re using a supported controller.
Downloading DS4 Windows
To get started, head over to ds4windows.com. Once there, look for the “Get Started” button to download DS4 Windows. This software is essential for our controller setup.
Installation and Setup
After downloading DS4 Windows, install it on your PC. The tool will automatically detect any connected controllers. There are also guides on the website to help you properly connect your PS4 or PS5 controller to your PC.
Connecting Your Controller
With DS4 Windows running in the background, connect your PS4 or PS5 controller to your PC. I’m demonstrating a wired connection, but you can also use Bluetooth if you prefer.
Final Touches
As soon as your controller is connected, it’s time to dive into Fortnite. Your PlayStation controller will now work seamlessly with the game, just like one of the supported controllers. You can make all the necessary adjustments within Fortnite.
