Therefore, is expected both the Titan Two and the Titan One to work on the Xbox Series X without even requiring a firmware update.

1. According to Sony's lead console architect Mark Cerny, the PS5 will be backward compatible with PS4 games.
2. The new PlayStation 5 controller (DualShock 5) will NOT have lightbar.

It is relatively safe to assume the PS5 will be compatible with PS4 controllers, as several PS4 games (specially VR) requires the lightbar to work. I would guess the controller's protocol (including the authentication procedures) will be carried over the PS5. The current PlayStation controller's protocol is flexible and could easily accept new features, such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers and built-in microphones.

Looks like they just announced that it is confirmed PlayStation four controllers will work on PlayStation five but only with PlayStation four games.

Sony is confirming today that its existing PS4 controller will not work with PS5 games. “We believe that PS5 games should take advantage of the new capabilities and features we’re bringing to the platform, including the features of DualSense wireless controller,” says Sony in a statement confirming the company’s plans.

Sony says that existing DualShock 4 controllers and officially licensed third-party PS4 controllers “will work with supported PS4 games.” Sony doesn’t list its supported games, but the company does confirm that officially licensed racing wheels, arcade sticks, and flight sticks will work with PS5 games and supported PS4 games. Sony’s existing PS Move Motion Controllers and the PlayStation VR Aim Controller will also work with supported PS VR games on the PS5

It's wait and see time. XSX is looking more promising, but hopefully T2 can be updated to support a DualSense controller.

Out of curiosity, once the new controller is figured out I assume it's pretty easy to say Titan 2 will have the upgrade. But what about Titan 1? Would it be able to be upgraded to the next generation? I've been trying to find a Titan 2 device but they're either all sold out or people are trying to charge double for them so I've been debating going with the stick version.thanks
