    I believe to get a PS3 controller to work you'd have to install some third party software. PS3 controllers aren't natively supported by Windows, so you basically have to download a program that tricks it into thinking your PS3 controller is actually an Xbox (Xinput) controller.

    I cannot confirm if it'll work for Dead by Daylight, though, as most virtual inputs are disabled while the game is open. Just remember that using third party software is use-at-your-own-risk. It shouldn't trigger the anti-cheat, but we can't help you if it does.

    The safer route is to pick up a cheap Xinput controller. They'll work on Windows automatically with zero setup, and a cheap one will only be a couple bucks.

    Ps3 controllers are not compatible with PS4. If you meant with Pc, then possibly with software. It's something I looked into in the past, but I have forgotten if I was successful or not.

    If you wanted a controller for Pc that's easy to plug and play....I recommend one of the xbox controllers.

    if it was for the ps4 ....then, I got nothing, sorry.
