Why is my PS4 controller not connecting?
A common solution is to try a different USB cable, in case the original one has failed. You can also try to reset the PS4 controller by pressing the reset button on the back of the controller, behind the L2 button. If your controller still won’t connect to your PS4, you might need to get support from Sony.
