Here's what the PlayStation 5's controller might look like
We already know that the PlayStation 5 is coming next year, and that its controller will have a few new tricks up its sleeve (more on those later). And now, we might have an idea of what that new controller could look like, based on images from a patent filed in Japan.
At first glance, the controller looks a lot like a DualShock 4 - which isn't too surprising. In a hands-on, Wired described a prototype of the PS5's controller as looking "an awful lot like the PS4's DualShock 4."
