There are four official PS4 controller options: two standard DualShock 4 (DS4) versions, and two licensed “Pro” controllers made by Razer and Nacon. The DS4s are very similar to one another, while the “Pro” controllers are designed for eSports.
There are currently 3 different PS4 Models; the original PS4, the PS4 Slim and the PS4 Pro.
The original PS4 is currently being phased out, replaced by the PS4 Slim, which has the same specs but is a third smaller. Both are available as 500GB and 1TB, and like the PS4, come with HDR due to a recent PlayStation update.
The PS4 Pro is the most powerful PlayStation ever, allowing you to play games in 4K. It is currently only available in 1TB.
Is the PS4 backwards compatible? The short answer is no – you can’t play PS3, PS2, or PS1 discs. Thankfully you can play PS2 classics via PS Store, and PS3 games via PlayStation Now, on any PS4 system.
