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.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Only checking one place for the setting — vibration can be turned off in both console and game settings
- 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
- Vibration is on in all settings but no controller vibrates on the console
- Only one specific controller never vibrates even though vibration is on
- Controller was dropped and now doesn't vibrate
