1. Make sure your PS4 console is turned on.
2. Connect the PS4 controller to the console using a USB cable. The cable is usually included with the controller.
3. Press and hold the PS button (the large button in the center) on the controller.
4. The controller should pair with the console automatically.
Once the controller is connected, you can unplug the USB cable and use the controller wirelessly. If you want to connect additional controllers, repeat the process for each one.
