Sony Enhancing Haptic Feedback for Developers


Listen Later

While there is no specific news today about Sony adding haptic feedback to older PlayStation games, Sony is actively working on enhancing and facilitating the use of haptic feedback technology in gaming. A recent patent publication reveals that Sony is developing a haptic feedback hand strap designed to help game developers test and implement haptic feedback without the need to constantly pick up a controller. This device allows developers to experience haptic feedback vibrations while having full use of their hands and fingers, making it easier to adjust and test haptic feedback settings in real-time.


Sony's focus on haptic feedback is also evident in the PlayStation 5's DualSense controller, which features advanced haptic capabilities that simulate environmental factors and react to in-game choices. This technology is a significant advancement from the traditional rumble motors used in earlier controllers like the DualShock.


However, there is no current initiative specifically aimed at adding haptic feedback to older PlayStation games. Instead, the efforts are geared towards making it easier for developers to incorporate haptic feedback into new and upcoming games.
