I am not confident that it would pair, but even so, you would certainly not be able to use the new functions of the Sense with PS4 games. Respectfully, your purchase would be a waste of money when you can source Shock cons specific to PS4 for cheaper than this next gen one. Not a recommended solution for your stated usage. Hope that helps, if still a consideration.

No, its my understanding that the PS5 controller will not work with a PS4. You can use a PS4 controller with the PS5, but only for PS4 games.
