In the video above, Microsoft's Director of Strategic Alliance Brandan Powell said that accessories have been upgraded on the Xbox One to be more modular, which enables players to add components to their initial investment over time: you can buy a racing wheel for Need for Speed Rivals or Forza Motorsport 5, Powell says, then add gauges or custom pedal types to get a more personalized set-up.
Powell also says hardware now has more nuanced force feedback options. Developers, using new feedback equations within the game code, can create a more dynamic range of feedback as opposed to the sort of "canned" responses that felt so uniform in previous hardware iterations.
