A few years ago, playing a Halo game with a PlayStation controller would've felt impossible. In generations gone by, consoles were locked ecosystems with their own distinct games, controllers and services.
However, things are changing. With the introduction of Xbox Cloud Gaming, and PC ports of PlayStation games, the two systems are closer than ever. In fact, some Xbox execs are loving the crossover, with Xbox Social Media Manager Stein hitting up some Halo Infinite with a PS5 controller.
We've got to admit, it still takes some time for us to wrap our heads around the fact that this is real. However wild it is, we welcome a more open console community. The Dualsense is a great controller, and it's probably a pretty good way to play Halo too.
Now that Sony has released the likes of God of War, Days Gone and Horizon: Zero Dawn on PC, it works the other way too. In fact, Stein has also taken to the Norse realms of God of War, using a trusty Halo: Infinite elite controller.
This is definitely a new era of gaming, and we're all for it!

Can I use my PS controllers on Xbox? Man I would absolutely love that.
Soon enough it will be one box to play the games and you only need to choose your controller.
If only Xbox could release a controller with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, imagine Halo.
Best controller around for years interms of being the "base" controller
I much prefer the Xbox controller to the DualSense (I will never get used to the sticks) but have recently used my DualSense to play Xbox games on my Apple device. Quite an interesting mashup.
I've actually switched to using my Dualshock for Xbox Cloud for one small reason. The buttons are FAR quieter and less clicky-clacky. I was getting annoyed looks with XSX when using headphones. Small things sometimes. lol
@Beagle sweet nice one for the heads up Beagle. Im back on Xbox after a generation away. Owning 3 X DS4s and 2 X Dualsense. It actually makes sense to use them on my Xbox if possible. Do these adapters provoke additional lag B?
I've never used one of the Xbox Elite controllers so I won't go calling DualSense the best controller ever but of all the basic controllers I've ever used, going back to the NES era when I started, it's easily my favorite. The haptic feedback is awesome. I love the way they use the triggers when firing weapons, or how rumble will feel different depending on the environment you're exploring. It's a really cool control pad.
