If the controller is connected via USB cable nothing else is required, just "plug-and-play". In the Options menu, accessible both from the main screen and the Pause screen, it is possible to navigate to the "Inputs configuration" line. PS4 controllers are generally paired on port number 4. It is always possible to change port by using the keyboard arrows, but this is rarely necessary since the game itself automatically recognize the correct port for the controller when this latter is plugged in.

For those users who desire to use the PS4 controller via bluetooth an "interpreter" program is in need (I kindly suggest using DS4Windows, freeware). In this case it is important to set the input port on number 0 instead of 4. The game still recognize a controller through port 4 but it is not capable of interpreting the wireless commands correctly. Some differences might occur between different controllers, but if you want to use bluetooth my suggestion is to always use an auxiliary program like I mentioned.
