Hello Everyone,
I just would like to know that is there any support for PS5 Controller adaptive triggers in Unreal Engine? If there is not, Is there any roadmap for it?
I too would be very interested in developing a game using PS5’s adaptive triggers!

I would like to know if anyone has got the Ps5 controller to work at all in Ue4.26 >= + ? if so How? … Can’t develop games if you can’t test
I hope Unreal will develop some API soon that we can use PS5 Controller Adaptive Triggers for our games.
Got the Ps5 controller to work as a normal game pad NOT IDEAL mapped the buttons in as an Xbox 360 with an emulator but will only work if plugged in to the pc… they do work wireless in Steam but not fully functional…
It gave the product id as “0x0CE6” and vendor Id same as ps4 “0x054C” was hoping to get it working using the raw input. I got it to test the gyros and force feedback triggers ;<{( looks like that’s gonna have to wait a bit longer for one of the nice girls from epic to go give Mr. Sony a lap dance. so he gives us all a chance to develop for him. and gives epic the rights to the software protocols… Grrr my eyebrows are growing like the guy from Tekken ( **Heihachi Mishima **)

I think that the hardest thing in this situation is an agreement with Sony. They need to give some API to Epic developers so that we can use it in our games such as Adaptive Triggers etc.

isn’t possible to integrate the triggers functionality via PS5 SDK
Can the dual sense (PS5 Controller) be used at all by UE5? My doesn’t recognize.
Waiting for Sony’s move from their PC expansion strategy
Did you ever find a solution? I’m currently trying to get mine set up too.
This is NOT going to happen.
Dual Sense and software related to it are all proprietary - owned by Sony and licensed under their commercial terms.
Sony will never allow for open access to this. You must be a partner in order to use it.
So no, UE5 won’t have native and open support for Dual Sense.
The best we might get is a plugin that is only accessible on separate EU branch for Sony partners.
Something similar already exists for Dual Shock (PS4 Gamepad), see: What does the "Windows DualShock" plugin actually do?
There are some alternatives - non-official APIs like Ohjurot/DualSense-Windows (I even found UE bindings for this one here Sixze/FabulousDualSense ) - BUT this is NOT something that you can ship your Game with. It is NOT legally safe outside of educational use.
Alternatively, you could try mapping DualSense buttons via Raw/Enhanced input - see: [Tutorial] UE4 using Dualshock4 controller (via USB, PS4 DS4 Gamepad) - I even remember having this working around 2 years ago with few tweaks to DPad axis, BUT AGAIN, this is probably not legally safe to ship a game with.
Similar case is with Playstation button prompt icons - they’re all copyrighted by Sony.
There are official support from both Sony and Epic, you just need to be a licensee.
For unofficial support using just Unreal Engine default plugins :
Windows recognize Playstation Gamepads as non-XInput but still works like any other gamepad (ex: Nintendo Wii Pro Gamepad).
Other platforms (Android, VRQuest, Linux) see it as just another gamepad.
