Your controller vibration isn't working in games
Vibration is turned off in settings on your console or the game itself. Go to your controller settings and turn vibration back on. If other controllers vibrate fine, your controller hardware is broken.
Controller vibration stops working when the setting is turned off in console settings or game settings. It can also fail if the controller is out of battery or the internal vibration motor is broken. Check settings first, then try another controller to test whether it's the console or the specific controller.
- ✓Have a game that supports vibration feedback ready to test with
- ✓Have another controller available if you have one, so you can test if the issue is this controller or your console
- ✓Keep your console controller settings menu accessible

Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Only checking one place for the setting
- Not realizing the controller can just need charging
- Assuming the console is broken when actually just one controller's motor failed
Signs you need professional help
- If vibration is on in all settings but no controller vibrates, if only one specific controller never vibrates even though vibration is on, or if the controller was dropped and now doesn't vibrate, contact support for assistance.
