With the PS5 and Xbox Series X finally in homes, players have quickly begun diving into both launch titles and the best games to be ported from the previous generation to new systems. One of those titles,Dead by Daylight, has been working towards reinventing itself withnew killers like The Twinsand graphical updates coming alongside the game’s jump to next-gen consoles.
In a recent interview with Game Rant, Behaviour Interactive’s Head of Partnerships, Mathieu Cote, commented on what kind of featuresDead by Daylightwill be taking advantage of on next-gen consoles. While many of the Next-Gen’s most prominent selling points won’t be arriving at launch, it does seem like Behaviour is eyeing some DualSense features in the future.

The specific feature in question is theDualSense’s haptic feedback, which is intended to add an extra level of immersion to any games played on PS5 consoles over the competition. According to Cote, this feature is something that Behaviour has had in mind for implementing intoDead by Daylight, but balancing crossplay makes bringing the new rumble a difficult task. Since haptic feedback is only available on PS5, it means that there wouldn’t be a proper way to replicate the same effect on any other platforms, next-gen or otherwise.
While balance is an issue to watch out for, withDead by Daylight’s next-gen releaseincluding crossplay at launch, Behaviour does still seem to have ideas for how to implement haptic feedback in the future, though it may be a wait. Players likely shouldn’t be expecting haptic feedback to have the kind of hyper-realistic immersion planned for PS5 exclusive titles likeGodfall, instead working in tandem with the terror ofDead by Daylightin more subtle ways.
Exactly when the haptic feedback feature will be coming toDead by Daylight’s PS5 version is still fairly up in the air and may take some time for Behaviour to consider how it could affect the balance on the system. After all, giving players a better idea of whereDead by Daylight’santagonizing killersmight be coming from or which direction survivors have run off to could mean that the new console has a clear advantage over others. Regardless, Behaviour does still seem to be interested in haptic feedback, and the feature will likely come to the game sooner or later.
