This includes support for the Lightbar, allowing Apple developers to change the color of the light on the controller when a health bar decreases for example.
Developers will be able to program feedback into their games, so players can feel specific things like the recoil from guns or explosions.Īpple is also planning to support some controllers with motion inputs, like Sony’s DualShock 4 controller. Game developers and players have long been asking for zone-based rumble and haptics support, and it’s finally coming later this year. The biggest additions are support for controller button remapping, haptics, rumble, motion, and even the ability to properly use a keyboard and mouse for iPad gaming. Apple is greatly improving its gaming support in iOS 14, iPadOS 14, and tvOS.
