Enhanced Gaming Experience with DualSense
One of the most exciting aspects of the new Astro Bot game is how it leverages the DualSense wireless controller to provide an immersive gaming experience. Here are some of the standout features:

Each new power-up in the game has been given similar treatment, allowing players to experience different sensations through their fingers.
- Battle and Impact Feedback: With the addition of numerous enemies and boss battles in the new game, the developers have focused on enhancing the battle and impact feedback. Whether it’s stretching, pounding, or pummeling hard surfaces, players can experience a variety of new impact sensations in Astro Bot.
- Dual Speeder: One of Astro’s recurring gadgets, the Dual Speeder, makes full use of motion control, adaptive triggers, and haptic feedback. This gadget allows Astro to fly to various planets, and the controller’s features enhance the overall experience. Below is a piece of early concept art and how it looks in the final game:
