Luna Controllers don’t work with PS4, so you can’t use them as you would a standard third-party controller on your PS4.

Even though it is not compatible with a PS4, there are other options for devices that it can be used with. Stick with us as we discuss how you can connect Luna controllers to compatible devices and how to set up a new controller properly.

Outside the aforementioned, Luna can not be used on any other device. A PS4 can not access Luna and Bluetooth connection; therefore, a Luna controller is only available on Macs, PCs, Android phones, and Fire TVs. Additionally, there is no way to connect the controller to PS5 either.

How To Set Up a new Luna Controller

To enjoy the Luna controller’s main purpose of playing games on the Luna cloud service, you have to set it up. To do this, follow the steps below:

  • Download the Luna controller app. This you can find on the Google Play store if you are an Android user or on the Apple App store if you are using iOS.Install the AA batteries that come with the controller. Ensure that they are properly placed.Put on the PS4 by pressing and holding the action button for three seconds. A teal-colored ring light around the button will notify you that it is powered on.Open the Luna controller app and follow the instructions shown to set up cloud direct.

You can now play games on Luna cloud on whatever device you want. The controller will detect when you send a request to use it on the cloud.

How to Connect Luna controller to other Devices

Luna controllers have three ways of connection–Via cloud direct, Bluetooth and USB-C. The cloud direct option is accessed through a WiFi connection to Luna cloud gaming service.

Connect Via Cloud Direct

To use cloud direct, power on your controller and visit the Luna page on the device you want to use for gaming. Select Luna controller as the controller option, and you are good to go.

Cloud Direct has the benefit of reducing the roundtrip latency by 17 to 30 ms when you are gaming. Also, it is more convenient as you don’t have to worry about connecting it every time you want to game, as it automatically detects whatever device is ready to use on the Luna platform.

Connect Via Bluetooth

Luna controller supports Bluetooth connection, which is an easy way to connect it to other devices. You can use this method to play games offline and off the Luna platform. To do this, follow the steps below.

However, do note that the Bluetooth option only exists on PCs, Macs, Fire TVs, and certain compatible Android devices.

Connect Via Cable

You can also connect your Luna controller to the other device by making use of the USB ports provided on both devices. This option only exists with Macs, PCs and some Android devices. To connect via cable, you only have to connect the required ends of a USB-C cable with the controller and the other device.

The main benefit of connecting via cable is that your controller batteries will not be used up. This connecting method can be handy if you want to conserve your batteries.

Conversely, there are certain disadvantages, like your movement while gaming being restricted by the length of the cable.

Conclusion

Luna controller doesn’t support connecting to PS4. This is because the controller only works on devices that support Luna cloud gaming, and the PS4 can not access Luna.
