If you’ve still got your original PS1 console stored away, chances are its accompanying gamepad has seen better days. I’ve had to restore old DualShock controllers for friends on more than one occasion, but if you’ve not got a weirdo like me who finds cleaning old pads relaxing nearby, it could stop you revisiting your classic PlayStation library, Thankfully, 8bitdo seems to understand this pain, as the controller maker just announced a Retro Receiver that’ll let you hook up modern controllers to the 30 year old system.

Again, I am really into old gamepads, and both the original Sony Playstation Controller and DualShock live rent free in my heart. That said, while those pads boast novelty and charm, they don’t hold up against the likes of the PS5 DualSense. So, coming up with a way to bridge the gap between ‘90s tech and the best PC controllers out there makes a ton of sense, and 8bitdo’s latest gadget is going to make playing PS1 games on authentic hardware more approachable than ever.

In an announcement tweet, the company introduces the 8bitdo Retro Receiver for PS by rhyming off a bunch of compatible controllers. The dongle effectively provides the PS1 and PS2 with wireless Bluetooth connectivity, and it’ll work with just about any modern gamepad you can think of. That includes the PS5 DualSense, DualSense Edge, Xbox Series controller, and even the Wii U’s pad, not to mention a bunch of third-party 8bitdo options.

Introducing 8BitDo Retro Receiver for PS. Play PS1 and PS2 with your favorite controller. Compatible with Xbox One, Series, and Elite controllers, DualShock4, DualSense, Wii U Pro, Switch Pro controllers, and more.
