New PS5 Patent Sheds Light on DualShock 5's Big New Feature
What you need to know is that the PS5 controller will have programmable voice-coil actuators rather than the basic rumbling motor each grip of the PS4 controller has. This will provide not only way more varied feedback, but the feedback will more precisely change on the fly depending on what's going on in the game. This isn't new technology, but the PS5 controller is handling it a bit uniquely.
More specifically, the new patent reveals that the PS5 controller will have a "vibration control apparatus" that will communicate with a "vibration control section" in order to tweak the vibration levels on the fly. This isn't a new concept -- even basic motors had this -- but it's going to be far more intense and advanced in the PS5 controller.
"A method of controlling a vibration device according to the present invention, includes: a step of receiving a vibration instruction; and a vibration control step of vibrating the vibration device in accordance with content obtained by correcting the content of the received vibration instructions, in which the vibration control step, the correction content is determined in accordance with a user using the vibration device," reads an excerpt from the patent.
The patent also notes players will be able to tweak, adjust, and play with the intensity of the vibrations themselves, which will be especially key for competitive games. At the moment, it's unclear how extensive these player options will be though.
The PlayStation 5 is set to release sometime this holiday season. At the moment of publishing, it's unclear how much the console will cost, but it could be upwards of $600.
