The Xbox Series Ten and Xbox Series S come equipped with one of the all-time controllers Microsoft has put out, but the PS5 DualSense controller is arguably more than innovative, thanks to its vibration and adaptive triggers. Now, information technology seems that Microsoft might do something about that.

During an interview with the Kinda Funny Gamescast, as reported past VGC, Xbox head Phil Spencer had some nice things to say nigh the PS5 controller. He besides hinted that an updated Xbox controller could exist coming down the line.

When asked near the possibility of VR coming to Xbox Series X, Spencer began talking near other accessories and where Microsoft could improve. The Xbox controller was one topic of word.

"There's probably some piece of work we'll do on controller," said Spencer. "I think Sony's done a nice job with their controller. We kind of look at some of that, are there things that we should go do?"

Spencer also shed light on his thoughts regarding VR on Xbox Series 10. Unfortunately, players belongings out for VR back up on Xbox might be ameliorate off buying a PS5 or PC.

"Nosotros're watching what happens on PC. As it relates to VR specifically, the best experience I've seen is Quest 2," said Spencer. "And I just think its untethered, the ease of use, be it untethered in its capability, just doesn't, to me, require it being continued to an Xbox in whatsoever way. And then when I look at a scenario like that, I think nearly xCloud, I think virtually the Xbox Live customs, I think nearly other things of how we can bring content to a screen like that."

For Spencer, if Microsoft were to pursue VR game development, it would look at both its showtime- and tertiary-party studios, and see if could leverage whatsoever of its existing IPs or relationships.

Equally for the current Xbox Serial X controller, information technology's not bad by any means. Nevertheless, Sony stole some of Microsoft'south thunder with the DualSense's improved vibration and adaptive triggers.

The PS5 controller uses Voice Ringlet Actuators: fast and responsive motors with precise tuning. It allows developers to implement very fine vibrations. When playing a game like Astro's Playroom, players can "feel" the difference between walking on glass and walking on metal.

The shoulder buttons are also attached to a motor. By sending an electrical electric current through the motor, developers can add tension to the triggers, giving button presses varying levels of resistance. Some games, similar Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, use varying levels of tension to mimic the feel of different weapons.

If Microsoft were to implement this blazon of tech on a future Xbox Series X controller, the Xbox fandom might laud the decision.

Doing so might also make things easier for 3rd-party developers. At the moment, first-party Sony games are taking total advantage of the DualSense. 3rd-party developers may not feel it's worth the fourth dimension to fine-tune a DualSense experience when half of their players are on Xbox.

Regardless, whatsoever hereafter controller improvements would be a welcome addition. Perchance these features could make their way onto a potential Xbox Elite Controller Series 3.
