How to Connect a PS4 Controller to an Xbox – Use a PS4 Controller on the Xbox Series X & S
Despite some confusion over the matter, you cannot actually use a PS4 controller on your Xbox Series X or S. While PS4 controllers use Bluetooth just like Xbox controllers, your Xbox, regardless of generation, simply isn’t set up to work with a PS4 controller. You can use a PS4 controller on a PS5, but only to play your old PS4 games.
If you want to play next-gen games with a PS4 controller, your best bet is to opt for cloud gaming via Xbox Game Pass cloud gaming on your phone or Game Pass Ultimate on your PC.
The easiest way to play Xbox Series X/S games with a PS4 controller is game streaming with Xbox Game Pass. To do this, you'll need a PS4 controller, a Game Pass subscription, and a compatible phone. You pair your controller with your phone, stream Xbox Series X/S games to your phone, and play them with your PS4 controller.
