Xbox survey asking players if they want the PS5’s DualSense features to be on the X series controller

A survey sent to owners of next-generation Xbox consoles is asking whether users would like the PS5’s DualSense features on their X or S Series controllers. As reported by TechRadar, the console experience survey asks owners if they think the Xbox X Series “feels the next generation” and then asks if they feel they are losing the peripherals department. “I am aware of the features of the PlayStation controllers that I would like to have on the controller that came with this console,” says the question.

This, of course, refers to the PlayStation 5 DualSense, which offers adaptive triggers to simulate resistance and provides accurate tactile feedback, with the goal of increasing game immersion. In comparison, the X Series controller was not much different from the last generation, despite the addition of features like a dedicated share button and textured triggers.Microsoft’s interest in these issues suggests that they are at least thinking about updating next-generation controllers in the future to align with Sony’s offering in the current generation. While this line of thinking does not necessarily promise changes in the future, the Xbox has a recent history of adding well-received features on other console controllers to its own – the Xbox One controller adopted a 3.5mm connector in the middle of the last generation , example.

We reviewed the PlayStation 5 DualSense controller at launch in November 2020, scoring it with 9 points and praising its “tactile feedback” – and consider it one of the most impressive features of the PS5 in our overall PlayStation 5 review. We also covered the controller Xbox Series X weeks earlier, marking it with 8 and calling it a “positive evolution”.
