PlayStation 5, Update 1.1.0, stealthily added in better for the DualSense controller's adaptive triggers and haptic . Ubisoft released the update on Sony's platform yesterday, but the patch notes that accompanied the overview made no mention of changes to DualSense functionality for unknown reasons.
Notably, the latest update from new update for Assassin's Creed Valhalla also prepared the title for the forthcoming seasonal event, the Yule Festival. However, PS5 players will be pleased to learn that these do not constitute the only changes ushered in.
Since the patch's arrival, haptic for the DualSense in the new patch.
Based on these few reports alone, it would appear the biggest change evident in Assassin's Creed Valhalla is clearly the full use of the PS5 controller and its adaptive triggers. Why the team at Ubisoft Montréal neglected to detail these particular adjustments in the patch notes for Update 1.1.0 is anyone's guess, and it remains to be seen whether the studio plans to add more modifications of this nature down the line.
The DualSense's adaptive triggers and haptic features certainly seem as though they could go down as game-changers for many PS5 players. As of now, however, not enough experiences are putting them to good use. Even first-party Sony titles like Astro's Playroom, Dirt 5, and even Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War seem indicative of what's possible when the time is taken to truly adapt a game to the PS5's revolutionary gamepad.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla is available for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC, Google Stadia, and Amazon Luma.
