The features of DualSense, along with PS5’s Tempest 3D AudioTech, will deliver a new feeling of immersion to players”. The immersion is set to come across primarily through a more evolved sense of touch. The rumble technology was replaced by Haptics, to create a broader range of more realistic feedback. Players will get more nuanced sensations such as the slow grittiness of driving a car through mud. The L2 and R2 trigger buttons feature adaptive, programmable resistance so that players can feel more or less tension through certain actions.
