Firmware 1.94 Coming Soon

October 24, 2007 | Author: play-beyond | Filed under: Firmware Updates

According to Shacknews.com, the newest PlayStation 3 system software update to version 1.94 adds firmware-level support for the upcoming rumble-enabled DualShock3 controller. Though the update is not yet available for download, it’s bundled with Insomniac’s Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, the first retail game with built-in support for the DualShock3.

By pressing the middle PS button on a PS3 controller, the DualShock3’s rumble can be toggled on or off from the Controller Setting menu in-game. Listed as the “vibration function,” rumble will obviously only be felt with DualShock3 controllers and not the rumble-less Sixaxis.

Sony plans to release the DualShock3 in Japan this November, with the peripheral coming to the U.S. and Europe this spring.
