Connecting PS4 controller to Arduino Nano ESP32-S3

Official Hardware Nano Family Nano ESP32

Is it not possible to connect a PS4 controller to the Arduino Nano ESP32-S3 board?
I read on the forums that PS4 uses bluetooth classic which is not supported by the Nano ESP32-S3 and so it is not possible.

I have tried to set it up by following these videos

but it does not work.

I am an absolute beginner and any help is appreciated.
Thanks

The DS4 uses Bluetooth Classic. The ESP32-S3 does not support Bluetooth classic
therefore the DS4 does not work.

The original ESP32 supports Bluetooth Classic and Low Energy (BLE) so it works
with DS4. The video shows an original ESP32.

So if I pair my ESP32-S3 with a Bluetooth module like HC-05, I should be able to connect the DS4 without any issues?
Or I should buy the original nano...

The HC-05 uses Bluetooth classic but the ESP32-S3 does not support Bluetooth classic

Can you see a problem ?

Yes I get that! The idea here is to pair the HC-05 with the DS4 and then send the data received from the DS4 serially via HC-05 to the nano.
Not sure if this would work...Maybe I am missing something.
