All PS5 games that use the DualSense adaptive triggers


All PS5 games that use the DualSense adaptive triggers


 Although PlayStation 5 is Sony's brand new console, there is more talk about the DualSense controller . And it is not for less because its characteristics are innovative, especially with the adaptive triggers . In short, it could be said that the controller reacts to what happens on the screen to convey the same sensations as if we had a gun in hand, for example. This is achieved thanks to the haptic technology by which other types of vibrations are generated, while the triggers have some resistance depending on the object used. Discover all the PS5 games that will use the functions of the DualSense controller.


If you are a fan of PlayStation, surely you know how to use the PS4 controller on PS5 . This is a good alternative to play with another friend on PS5 without having to buy another DualSense controller, but it has its limitations. The Dualshock 4 controller cannot be used in exclusive PS5 games such as Demon's Souls, Astro's layroom, or Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Sony itself recommends using the new remote to enjoy the full experience as designed and that includes the DualSense feel. So it is evident that if you use the DualShock 4 in the following games, the above mentioned features do not work.


Below is a complete list of all the PS5 games that use the adaptive triggers and other functions of the DualSense controller. These titles are worth playing with the controller and they will become a more immersive experience. To start testing the virtues of DualSense, the game Astro's Playroom comes pre-installed on the PS5 console and takes a journey through the history of PlayStation. The game also works as a tutorial so that you begin to familiarize yourself with the console, so it is highly recommended that you start there. It is designed to showcase the capabilities of the controller and was key to the design of the DualSense.


Adaptive triggers will react differently in shooters like Deathloop, Fortnite, or Resident Evil Village. In most of these games if the gun jams, the triggers lock automatically, but it can also transmit the weight or recoil of the gun . Similarly, this applies to melee weapons as in Demon's Souls, where the player will be able to sense with haptic feedback whether or not they have blocked an attack well. Finally, it should be noted that in games like NBA 2K21 or Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, the triggers convey the character's fatigue when sprinting . In that case, the player will instantly notice the exhaustion and the triggers will offer increased resistance.
