Visuals, performance, and haptics
PlayStation’s announcement lists upgraded 4K visuals, performance of up to 120 FPS, and haptic feedback on PS5. These are announced specifications, not independent measurements of resolution or frame rate. As the announcement puts it: “Sayonara Wild Hearts also features upgraded 4K visuals, runs at up to 120 FPS, and supports haptic feedback on PS5.”
Haptic feedback is supported; the announcement does not say a particular controller is required. A DualSense wireless controller is optional.
