Microsoft could be planning to introduce new haptic technology to future Xbox controllers, as revealed by a recently filed patent. Tech4Gamers uncovered details of the patent, which suggests that Xbox controllers may soon feature enhanced haptic feedback through upgraded motors.
According to the patent’s abstract, the updated design includes a housing, connector, and a haptic motor. When activated, the motor moves relative to the housing, generating dynamic haptic feedback. The patent further describes the motor as being tunable, allowing it to adjust for optimal device performance.
This innovation is said to include two types of vibration, aiming to deliver a more immersive and personalized feedback experience. The patent explains that the integration of these haptic components into a flexible, moving mechanical setup enables the motor to produce strong responses without the cost, weight, or size of traditional larger haptic motors. In turn, this could provide enhanced haptic performance while being more efficient in energy consumption.
With these adjustable, moveable haptic motors, Microsoft may be responding to Sony’s successful DualSense controller, which has been lauded for its advanced haptic technology. While Microsoft has been working on its Sebile controller for some time, this patent may offer a glimpse into some of its features, though it is unlikely to launch until the next generation of Xbox consoles, as reported by Jez Corden of Windows Central.
