Interhaptics PS5 SDK

Requirements:

  • Sony PlayStation Partner: To access the Interhaptics SDK on Sony's DevNet, you must be a registered Sony PlayStation Partner. If you are not yet a partner, you must first apply and be accepted into the PlayStation Partner Program before you can access the SDK.

  • Unity 2019.4 LTS or higher with an active Unity Pro subscription (or a Preferred Platform license key provided by the respective platform holder)

The Interhaptics SDK add-on for PlayStation 5 can be accessed through the Tools and Middleware repository on the SIE DevNet. However, there are certain conditions, mentioned above, that must be met before obtaining access to the Interhaptics SDK for PlayStation 5.

Step 1: Request Interhaptics SDK PS5 Add-on​

Request the PlayStation 5 add-on for the Interhaptics Unreal Engine and Unity SDK through the PlayStation 5 DevNet. This will enable you to add haptic effects and build for PlayStation 5.
Once you are granted access to the GitHub private repositories you can go to Step 2 and beyond.

Step 2: Install the Interhaptics Core SDK​

Install the Interhaptics Core SDK in your Unity project by following the standard installation process described in the Getting Started with the Unity SDK chapter.
Take a version of the Interhaptics Unity SDK previous to 1.3.0 (1.2.3 recommended for compatibility). Use https://github.com/Interhaptics/Unity_CoreSDK.git#v1.2.3 in the Unity Package Manger to add it to your project instead of the normal link.

Step 3: Integrate the PlayStation 5 Add-on in the Interhaptics Core SDK​

Download, clone or install through the Unity Package Manager the PlayStation 5 Unity SDK add-on from the following link (You must be logged in with the same email which has been granted the GitHub access, otherwise it will give you a 404 error).
