However, it has also taken things a step further with "Full Immersion" features.

Haptic Feedback for Immersive Gaming
Companies like PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, and more have developed first-party peripherals, mainly its gaming controllers which feature haptic feedback that makes the experience more immersive. For PlayStation's DualSense, owners may even tweak the haptic feedback feature to respond to their Spotify streaming experience and enjoy their music via the console.
Last year, one of the most iconic developments for haptic feedback was introduced by Ubisoft and OWO as part of its special offers for the game Assassin's Creed Mirage. The collaboration has to an upper half suit with the Assassin's Creed brand that delivers haptic feedback to gamers while playing Mirage, taking immersive gaming to the next level.
Game developers can only take the game realism to a certain level in terms of plot, graphics, and special effects as these do not translate to real-world experiences, unlike what haptics deliver. And while most haptic feedback technologies can only be found on handheld devices, wearable technology, including over-the-ear headphones can also help in improving game immersion.
