PlayStation 4 will support four controllers

4.3
PlayStation 4 will support four controllers - three less than the PS3.

SCE Worldwide Studios head Shuhei Yoshida confirmed the news on Twitter earlier today, specifying that the console will support four controllers at once.

This is down from the seven supported by PS3, and follows news earlier this week that the Xbox One will support eight controllers concurrently.

Yoshida didn't elaborate on the reduction, though very few PS3 games have taken advantage of the system's seven controller support.

According to CVG sources, Sony will reveal a PlayStation-branded virtual reality head-mounted display at the Tokyo Game Show later this month, where it will also show more than 50 games.

Meanwhile, Sony has confirmed the PS4 will support voice navigation and facial recognition via the PlayStation Eye.

PS4 will release November 15 in the US and November 29 in Europe and Australia.

Lightyear That's good, 8 controllers is way to much anyways.

Good move PS4.


More is always better, you don't have to use and probably wont use 8 controllers but the support for it is nice, me and my friends play FIFA and that will be great with 8 controllers.


Imagine 8 split screens . You would barely see ur screen unless you have a 100" tv. 4 is perfect

I think 4 is enough. The xbox one will support 8 but i doubt anyone will use all 8 at once

Scared_of_Water I was sort of expecting sony to said,"lol 8, we have 10". Seeing how it's what they always do lately.

Their system probably couldn't have supported it

Vishera 4 is the right number of controllers for a single console. Good move Sony.


I couldn't really see a console needing more than 8 controllers for local multiplayer, a pretty good move if you ask me

Xbox had the better "move"
You don't need to play with 8 people. But just incise you had a party or something you could play with a lot of people.
I swear people will try and say something about everything.


*in case

Also, ithe Xboxs is a feature. Why complaint about something you don't have to use?
