  • Gran Turismo 6
  • Grand Theft Auto V
  • Jak and Daxter HD Collection (only the analog sticks work)
  • Resistance 3

Web Browser

DS4 layout web browser

Despite having a whopping great trackpad on the new PS4 controller, it can't be used in the browser, so you're stuck with the thumbsticks and d-pad.

The touchpad has also been updated (FW 1.70), allowing you to navigate the on-screen keyboard using the DUALSHOCK 4 touchpad.

When the on-screen keyboard is open, pushing in the right thumbstick puts it into a motion-based mode where you can select keys by tilting the controller. This can be surprisingly accurate.

Pushing in The D-pad acts like the TAB key on a keyboard, focusing on links.

The browser can be used while a game is in progress.
