Sony Patents New PlayStation Controller

The World Intellectual Property Organization’s database reveals that Sony has patented a new controller design, possibly giving insights into a future PlayStation 5 joypad.

The new controller is similar in appearance to the PlayStation 4’s default joypad, although it includes two new buttons on the back. These buttons can be programmed to perform the same tasks as any of the buttons on the front of the controller.
