Does PS5 Have Bluetooth? Here's What You Need To Know

When it comes to finding out whether or not the PS5 has Bluetooth, the answer is not as straightforward as you may think.

Here's everything you need to know.

Does PS5 Have Bluetooth?

In short, yes, the PS5 does support Bluetooth, however, it is limited in what it can connect to.

For example, the DualSense controllers and Pulse 3D wireless headset from Sony will connect to the console just fine, whereas third-party manufacturer products will not.

However, Sony has stated in their ultimate PS5 FAQ "USB and Bluetooth keyboards and mice are supported at a system level, though game developers will decide whether to support at a game level"

This suggests, while third-party headsets are not supported, mice and keyboards are.

Which PS5 Games Support Bluetooth Keyboard And Mouse?

Whilst the PS5 supports USB and Bluetooth keyboards and mice on a system level, there is only a handful of games that actually support it. These include:

• Assassin's Creed Valhalla
• Call Of Duty: Vanguard
• Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
• Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare
• Call Of Duty: Warzone
• Fortnite
• Overwatch
• Planet Coaster
• Warframe
• Final Fantasy XIV

Can You Use Third-Party Bluetooth Headphones On PS5?

While the PS5 does not directly support third-party Bluetooth headphones, it is possible to use them with your PS5 for audio, through the use of a Bluetooth adapter.

If you grab yourself a USB Bluetooth receiver, you can plug this into the console and then pair your headphones to the transmitter.

It is worth noting, that due to latency and interference, these adapters do not work brilliantly with voice-chatting but if you're only looking to use them for audio, then you should have no issues.

You can also get Bluetooth adapters that can plug directly into your TV or monitor or even the DualSense controllers, so there are a lot of options.
