One of the bestPS5features can now be experienced on PC for the very first time if you ownSony’s cleverDualSensecontroller and a copy ofMetro Exodus: Enhanced Edition.
A recent patch for the game enabled support for the DualSense controller’shaptic feedback and adaptive triggersif you’re playing the game in wired mode, which creates resistance when firing weapons and helps add an extra layer of immersion for players to enjoy.

The DualSense adaptive triggers are arguably one of the most appealing aspects of the PS5, with games likeAstro’s Playroomshowing to great effect how compelling thePS5 DualSensecan be when fully utilized. The controller’s haptic feedback is also a fantastic addition to Sony’s new pad, and convincingly mimics the sensation of rainfall inReturnal.
Support for thePS5 DualSense controllerwas added toSteamin November 2020 but has been fairly limited until now. While it remains to be seen how many PC developers will take the time to add native support for the PS5 controller, we hope that more games will add adaptive trigger and haptic feedback functionality as it’s still just as satisfying to experience, even six months after the PS5’s release.
