BigHatPaul Member May 28, 2019 1,823 Swamp Some controllers are loud. The current gen XBOX controller is LOUD. Aggressively. The PS5, not so much. Some third party ones are pretty loud, too, like 8bitdo's buttons. But does it bother you or take you out of the experience? Or do you find it oddly satisfying? I actually quite enjoy hearing the clacking noises watching speedruns but not that big a fan hearing it while I'm playing.  Dest Has seen more 10s than EA ever will Coward Jun 4, 2018 16,041 Work I've really never even paid attention to it. But now that you've brought it my attention, it's going to be the only thing I can think of when I'm using a controller. Thanks OP.  nsilvias Member Oct 25, 2017 30,147 i mostly wear headphones so i dont care for the most part. i have a stadia controller tho and that think is loud.   YohraUtopia Member Apr 1, 2021 1,409 I've never noticed except that the rumble on the wireless Xbox controller is in fact extremely loud; it startles me sometimes.   Mullet2000 Member Oct 25, 2017 6,399 Toronto I'm banned from using the Xbox Series controller after 10:00 p.m. by my wife because of the noise lmao.   MADSUPERVILLAIN Member Jan 11, 2018 1,665 Dunedin, New Zealand I haven't really thought about it before, but I've spent my life playing PC games on Cherry MX Blues and fighting games on my arcade stick so I really have been using the loudest possible input methods this whole time.   Transistor The Walnut King Administrator Oct 25, 2017 41,656 Washington, D.C. The combination of the d-pad and the rumble motors on the Series controllers can wake the dead.   Killzig Member Oct 25, 2017 1,132 The clickiness of sticks or buttons doesn't bother me but rumble is something I disable as soon as I get hands on a controller almost immediately since the feature was introduced. Absolutely hate it.   Doc Laserstein Member Oct 25, 2017 5,605 The only controller that has ever really bothered me has been exclusive to all three dualsenses I have owned, and it's this disconcertingly loud and aggressive clicking/rattling that comes from the rumble in certain games.   OP OP BigHatPaul Member May 28, 2019 1,823 Swamp Any pop'n music players in here? Loudest controller I've ever used by far   WordsAndDreams Member Jan 4, 2018 1,378 I used to not think about it. But after using the Dual Sense primarily for the last couple years, I can't help but notice how loud my 8bitdo is.   ari Member May 7, 2024 650 Biarritz my logitech f310 isn't loud. although my 7.1 system gets in the way of every noise except the sound of a meteorite striking my house  Dougieflesh One Winged Slayer The Fallen Oct 25, 2017 37,219 Milky Way Ghetto I've never really noticed controller noise until the Xbox Series controller. Those buttons and bumpers are so damn loud.   Gavalanche Prophet of Regret Member Oct 21, 2021 25,941 Is the xbox controller loud? I havent noticed? Maybe I am too used to it. I will keep an ear out when I play next.   moqz Member Jan 28, 2025 487 The switch pro controller sounds like it's filled with bees when it rumbles. It's really annoying because you can barely even feel the LRA's in the switch pro controller, they really needed larger ones.   MissedArrows Member Feb 6, 2025 230 I prefer ps controllers, but got an xbox series controller for compatibility on PC. I haven't used it in years and instead just find workarounds for my dualsense if needed. The loudness is too much, it can be heard through mics and I'm concerned back when I had roommates they could hear it too. I was shocked when watching old recordings and the clicking was that loud.  Last edited: 1 minute ago Dezzy Member Oct 25, 2017 3,791 USA I hate noisy controllers. The Xbox Series ones drove me nuts. The dpad and all the buttons were too noisy.   rics2980 Member Oct 28, 2017 257 My friend's Xbox series controller sounds like he is slapping a typewriter when we're party chatting. I wish I was exaggerating but I'm not. Other than that I'm not really bothered by controller noise.   Letters Prophet of Truth Avenger Oct 27, 2017 5,201 Portugal Recently moved to maining the Dual Sense on PC after years of Xbox controllers just because of this. I grew tired of those loud and stiff buttons. Dual Sense is inferior in some ways but at least those face buttons are a pleasure to press. Hopefully the Xbox Sebile controller really copies all the best things of the Dual Sense for the ultimate controller.  Tohsaka Member Nov 17, 2017 7,098 I really like how quiet the DualSense is. I have an Xbox controller only for PC games that don't have native DS support/prompts and I hate how noisy it is in comparison. It feels cheap.   Kevers The Fallen Oct 29, 2017 15,890 Syracuse, NY The dpad on my launch dualsense makes this really annoying squeaky sound when you push it, drives me up a wall. My galaxy purple is flawless though  Audiblee Member Mar 14, 2025 1,596 Hated the noise my Series controllers made. One of many reasons I don't miss that console.   Zafir Member Oct 25, 2017 8,977 I use a cherry blue mx keyboard, I'm fine with loud peripherals lol. The only thing bothers me with noise is if something is amiss. Like if theres random squeaking from things or clicking that shouldn't be there. Those bother me.

Hellblade 2 is coming to PS5 (Xbox Game Studios) Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 is the latest first party Xbox game to come to the PS5 and this time a special effort is being made with its already excellent graphics. The annoucement of previously exclusive Xbox games coming to PlayStation 5 is becoming increasingly commonplace but so far none of them have been anything more than straightforward ports, with no enhancements or additions beyond DualSense support. A PlayStation 5 version of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 was rumoured earlier in the year (along with an already confirmed version of Gears Of War) but according to Microsoft it will be optimised for both the standard PlayStation 5 and the more powerful PS5 Pro. They’re currently being vague as to what difference this will make but it will coincide with a free update for Xbox Series X/S and PC that will add new features to all versions of the game. As we explored in our original review, Hellblade 2 isn’t a very good video game, but it does have perhaps the best graphics ever seen in a console title, at least in terms of photorealism. Things can always be improved though, especially with the benefit of hindsight, and the PS5 Pro is the most powerful console ever made, even if its abilities haven’t really been stretched so far. Unfortunately, the annoucement of Hellblade 2 for PlayStation 5 is vague across the board, with the release date confirmed only as sometime this summer. That means It will likely appear as part of the Xbox summer showcase, on June 8, although that’s not entirely guaranteed as Microsoft continues to be very reticent about talking about multiformat releases in public. Not only that but the pretence of supporting the Switch 2 has so far added up to nothing at all and Hellblade 2 is also not coming to Nintendo’s new console, although in this case it is unlikely the Switch 2 could handle the game and have it look anywhere near as good as the Xbox version. More Trending That said, the original Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice was released on both PlayStation 4 and Switch, before Microsoft bought developer Ninja Theory in 2018. As the developers point out on their website, the studio got its first big break working on PlayStation 3 exclusive Heavenly Sword, back in 2007. There had been some concern that Hellblade 2 had performed poorly on Xbox and PC, in terms of sales and Game Pass usage, and that it might put Ninja Theory at risk of being shut down. But not only are they working on a horror project codenamed Project: Mara, they’re also helping out with Microsoft’s attempts to use generative AI in video games.

The Xbox Series X/S controller is a dependable workhorse for all genres, whether you're playing on console or PC, and you can now save a third at AmazonTech16:34, 20 May 2025This article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it. Learn moreThere's plenty for Xbox fans to enjoy this year(Image: Bloomberg via Getty Images)While Sony went wild with its Dualsense pad at the start of the current console generation, it'd be fair to say Xbox took an "if it ain't broke" approach.Microsoft's latest systems run the same UI, and they also work with the same controllers from the Xbox One generation.There are slight changes to trigger stiffness and the overall weight, plus the inclusion of a dedicated button for capturing and sharing, but for many, the Xbox pad is just about perfect.Why are we telling you this? Because you can save a third off the RRP at Amazon right now.The Xbox controller is great on PC or console(Image: Future Publishing via Getty Images)Over at Amazon, the Xbox Wireless controller has dropped from £59.99 to £39.95, meaning you can get the pad for 33% off.There are multiple colourways available, but the Robot White looks to be the one with the best discount at the time of writing.If you've ever held an Xbox controller before, it'll feel instantly familiar with its offset sticks, but the D-pad is much better than last generation's.It still uses AA batteries, and while we'd prefer an internal battery like we get on PS5, there's no denying the Xbox controller lasts much, much longer for marathon sessions.Perhaps its greatest strength is that it offers plug-and-play functionality on PC, letting you bring up the Xbox Game Bar with a press of the Xbox button."Experience the modernised design of the Xbox Wireless Controller in Robot White, featuring sculpted surfaces and refined geometry for enhanced comfort during gameplay with battery usage up to 40 hours," the product description explains.The share button is a new addition to the current generation of controller, and means you can snap screenshots or gameplay clips to share with friends on Xbox and beyond. There are others with deals on Xbox controllers such as Argos, who have offers on a range of coloured controllers.Article continues belowLooking for a great PS5 deal?

Sony Interactive Entertainment’s next-gen VR headset, the PlayStation® VR2 (PS VR2), launches today, and we’re excited to share the latest tools you can use to build for this innovative platform. In this post, we’ll cover two aspects of developing for PS VR2: graphics and inputs.PS VR2 leverages PS5’s next-gen computing and graphics power to help you create stunning, high-performing VR games. You can target a 4k resolution equivalent, running titles at 60Hz, 90Hz, or 120Hz, which should be achievable with the PS5 using some of the techniques discussed below.First, let’s start off with render pipelines. We recommend the Universal Render Pipeline (URP) for most VR developers because URP will be our first render pipeline to support some of PS VR2’s unique features, such as foveated rendering and gaze tracking. You can also use the Scriptable Render Pipeline (SRP), Built-in Render Pipeline, and High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP), but be aware that some features, like foveated rendering, are only available on URP for the time being.Overall, URP is a great match for VR games. It’s flexible, straightforward to use, and customizable. It also works well if you’re building for multiple platforms, including all-in-one VR devices. You can make your own custom render pipeline using SRP, and we provide an extensive C# API that allows you to implement any renderer your games require.The PS5 also provides advances on the GPU side through its new NGGC Graphics API. With NGGC, we’ve taken advantage of the optimization technologies available on PS5 in ways that were previously unavailable. We’ve also rearchitected our rendering backend to allow efficient utilization across multiple cores while improving GPU state transitions. This adds up to more efficient rendering in terms of CPU, GPU, and memory usage while offering the same visual results, without any reauthoring of assets or game code.PS VR2 will be able to use a technique known as foveated rendering. This technique helps you make VR games with better visual fidelity by decreasing the GPU rendering workload required for a given scene. Foveated rendering is used to improve GPU performance by reducing image quality in peripheral vision.PS VR2’s hardware can go a step further by using eye tracking to optimize GPU rendering. By projecting the eye-gaze information into screen space, you’re able to render at high quality in the precise screen area where a player is looking.The intent of foveated rendering and eye tracking is to keep the image quality high in those parts of the image deemed important, while smoothly fading to lower resolutions in areas of the image considered to be less important. This means that you can reduce the size of some render targets while still keeping quality where you want it.We’ve removed all of the complexity of setting this up in Unity, allowing you enough control over the degree of foveation to be able to balance image quality versus GPU performance for your specific requirements.With this capability, foveated rendering on PS VR2 can be up to 2.5x faster, without any perceptual loss compared to equivalent image quality through standard stereo rendering. We’ve also seen gains up to 3.6x faster when foveated rendering is combined with eye tracking. (Note that these tests represent ideal increases in performance, tested on a Unity demo, and numbers will vary based on your game.)Foveated rendering on PS VR2 can bring a massive reduction in GPU usage while producing the same perceptual quality – and, combined with eye tracking technology, the performance gains are even better.Outside of graphics performance, eye tracking also unlocks a new input method. You can use eye tracking to allow users to select items from menus, start interactions with NPCs, use in-world tools, and more. Eye tracking could even be a focal point of the gameplay mechanics.Leveraging eye tracking works in much the same way as other XR input devices. You have access to the components for eye gaze, which is a combination of position and rotation across both eyes that defines a place in the virtual world. You can use this to tell where the user is currently looking.In addition to basic pose information, you will also have access to pupil diameter and blinking states for both of the player’s eyes. Combining these with the pose, you can start to form your own ideas around gameplay and interaction to more deeply engage with players.Here is an example of a simple gaze-based reticle:You’ll see a gaze tracker object that drives the movement of the reticle in this script, using the same TrackedPoseDriver that we might use to track any other XR controller in Unity. This one just happens to be tied to the eyeGazePosition and eyeGazeRotation set up in our Input System Action Map. There is also a TrackedPoseProvider specifically made to handle eye tracking if you are planning to use the more traditional Unity input methods.The new Sense Controllers are available for Unity developers and include interesting unique features only found on PS VR2.Finger touch detection uses capacitive touch to detect when a player’s fingers are resting on the buttons without actually pressing them. These controls are available on all the primary buttons and thumbsticks, so you can use them to drive more natural gestures with players’ hands during gameplay. You could also, in a more basic approach, drive a hand model to enable players to “see” where their fingers are when they look at the controller. This can really help players stay focused and immersed in an experience without having to lift the headset up or feel around for a specific button.PS VR2 uses inside-out tracking technology for the new system, giving you six-degree of freedom tracking for both the headset and controllers. You can now use most, if not all, of the standard Unity XR stack, making it easier to develop your games for broader platform reach. To set up the controllers themselves, we have exposed these input controls through both traditional Unity Input Manager and the newer Input System package.In addition to eye tracking and controller input, PS VR2’s SDK also allows full control over PS VR2 Sense technology haptics. This includes audio-based haptic feedback to provide a deeper experience for players, as well as a more traditional vibration support. The new controllers also include the same Adaptive Triggers available with PS5 DualSense controllers, meaning you can program the triggers with different styles of feedback based on game context. In addition to controller-based haptics, PS VR2 has added headset feedback, allowing you to give players adjustable vibration in the headset. This could be used to alert players of an event, or combined with audio to add more realistic sensation to experiences.We have worked hard to give you flexibility when it comes to integrating PS VR2 input and haptics into your games. With a combination of tracking improvements and a standard Unity XR SDK for PS VR2, you can leverage the full Unity XR stack, including things like the XR Interaction Toolkit, other XR SDK-dependent assets, Unity Asset Store packages, and other packages available through the Unity Package Manager.These features allow you to explore new forms of gameplay and worldbuilding.PS VR2 is available today, and you can build for it with Unity 2021 LTS and later. Foveated rendering requires Unity 2022.2 and later. We’re excited to see what this headset means for the VR industry as it unlocks a new level of performance and input controls for you to build even more immersive and exciting experiences.You’ll need an active Unity Pro subscription (or a Preferred Platform license key provided by the respective platform holder) to access these specific build modules via developer platform forums.
