The Gears of War beta has support for PlayStation haptic triggers. Nice of them to include that in their Xbox Console Exclusive Game Only For Xbox And PC Which Is Also Xbox Now But Not Everything Is An Xbox Please Don't Say Everything Is An Xbox Oh Wait I Mean XBOX Don't Hit Me Again Please Help

More non-Sony games should, really. The triggers are cool! Forza Horizon 6 doesn't use any of this stuff, meanwhile the Gears beta has a full-ass diagram of a DualSense controller in it. Maybe they'll add something to the PC build once Forza comes to PS5 or something.

the triggers might be cool, but every dualsense controller I've ever used runs out of battery in like 1/5th the time of every other controller I own

It’s one of only two gripes I have with the controller. The battery life is horrendous! I feel like I can go weeks without having to worry about charging my Switch 2 Pro controller but it’s legitimately impossible to get through a single session on my PS5 without the low battery warning popping up 😭

I still think we see that Gears game on PS5 a year or so later as a “GOTY” edition kind of thing. Seems a waste to just leave it on the floor like that.

Wrong the triggers feel terrible, every game I’ve played that uses the adaptive triggers make the triggers feel like they’re straight up broken or that something is mechanically wrong with them in an unpleasant way. And to make it worst they drain the shit outta the battery. Terrible gimmick feature

I went through a ton of hoops to add haptic trigger support to Horizon 6 via multiple programs running and love the final result. I don’t own a PS5 so I don’t really get to use them a lot (Pragmata being my only other experience with it) so it feels like a big deal to me.
