However, even though not all games have been coded by D-BOX, gamers everywhere can still experience any game they want with haptic feedback thanks to Adaptive Gaming Mode! Adaptive Gaming Mode is a software that sends feedback to your chair based on user input and controls, meaning that you can experience a haptic gaming experience composed of the same movements, and vibrations mentioned above for literally any game that exists.
To help you decide which immersive adventure to try first, we’ve compiled a list of the top 8 games to play with Adaptive Gaming Mode—and 7 of them even have hand-crafted haptic profiles! Keep reading to see if your favourite is on the list.
1. Elite Dangerous
In Elite Dangerous, players embark on a solo, open-world adventure with nothing to their names other than a spaceship and a minute amount of currency. They must then do whatever they can to both survive and thrive in an ever-changing, every-man-for-themselves kind of galaxy!
When it comes to accumulating the skills and resources necessary to advance in the game, nothing is off the table—players can do seemingly innocent tasks such as trade with others and explore other planets, or they can partake in a more dangerous style of gameplay by participating in mass piracy and planned assassinations.
Elite Dangerous makes our list of the top 5 games to play with Adaptive Gaming mode primarily because of the haptic feedback associated with the weightlessness of space. Adaptive Feedback Mode allows you to feel your spaceships move and rotate in all directions and allows you to feel every moment of your life-or-death battles with feedback such as laser recoils and thruster boosts, which truly adds a virtual reality component to an already immersive gaming experience.

The game credited in part with creating the battle royale genre—and that is one of the biggest and most popular games in the world— can now be experienced with haptic feedback!

Players must scavenge weapons, vehicles, armor and more and fight one another to be the last one standing! As time goes by in the game, the playable map gets smaller, forcing more player encounters.
With D-BOX haptic developers having created a motion effect profile specifically for this game, you’ll be able to accurately feel the difference in recoil from different weapons, feel the rattles of aircraft flying above and use every subtle bit of feedback to your advantage!
