Key notes
Having fun playing Bandai Namco and From Software’s latest title? Yes, we are talking about Elden Ring and everything that comes with this experience.
Ever since the game was officially released, on the 25th of February, users have both enjoyed and raged over Elden Ring.
Why rage? Well, even though developers mentioned that they are doing everything in their power to make it as stable as possible, Elden Ring came with a ton of bugs.
But users are now wondering about the haptic feedback feature that the game was also supposed to have but is somehow missing for some players.
Only PC and Xbox players apparently get haptic feedback
Recentreportshave people that spent their hard-earned money on Elden Ring a bit concerned, as one of their favorite features is not even in the game.
Yes, we are talking about haptic feedback, which is a mode of communication rather than a specific technology or application.
In short, it’s nothing less than an entirely new way for machines and humans to communicate. In this case, we’re talking about the controller feedback you get when something happens in the game.
PlayStation 5 Elden Ring players, in particular, complain about not getting even the slightest vibration in their controller while playing.
That being said, other PS users claim that all they can feel is a discreet rumble, but nothing more. To make matters worse, Xbox players say that they have haptic feedback for Elden Ring.
Yes, the Xbox Series X controller also has haptic feedback, but it is not as advanced as what you experience when using the DualSense controller on the PS5.
That being said,PC users tried playing Elden Ring with a PS5 controller, hoping that they would be able to take advantage of this new interactive feature.
Apparently, this works so if you also want to enjoy everything Elden Rings has to offer, including haptic feedback, you have to play it on PC or Xbox.
This, however, doesn’t appear to be a certain thing. Although some PC players report haptic feedback working while using a PS5 controller, others say it’s missing altogether.
From Software and Bandai Namco promised Elden Ring would have this feature for all platforms, so we might see a fix for this issue coming soon.
