The PlayStation Classic Controller isa game controller developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment and manufactured by Sony, released on December 3, 2018. It was bundled with the PlayStation Classic mini console.
The controller is essentially the replica of the original PlayStation Controller. Unlike the original, it has USB Type-A port instead of the proprietary PlayStation controller port.
The PlayStation Classic Controller is a generic DirectInput controller, so it is not supported in games that only use the XInput API unless XInput wrappers like Steam Input are used. Just like the original, it lacks rumble motors and analogue joysticks, limiting its useability with newer games.

XInput wrapping
- Being a DirectInput controller, it's possible to use any of the generic wrappers. See the controller article for those.
Linux
- This controller is "Plug and Play" on most distributions of Linux.
Steam
- Can be recognized as Xbox 360 controller but after manual assignment. Controller cannot be found in Supported Controller Database, so Steam recognizes it as standard DirectInput device.
Support in games
- Games with generic DirectInput support are supported by the controller, however button placements may be out of place and need to be rebound. Refer to game-specific articles for rebinding support.
