‘United States entity in charge of the management and classification of patents have received from Sony the request to file the trademark of a new controller that, apparently, will be linked to PlayStation 5 and will allow the fruition of mobile content such as minigames, videos and retro titles, see the patent here.

The Japanese company’s patent illustrates this “PlayStation Multifunctional Controller” as a stand-alone device that, thanks to a screen integrated into a shell with extremely minimalist shapes, should allow the user to access a whole range of content and services, both online and locally.

Using the images and explanatory diagrams in the documents deposited by Sony, the editorial staff of Let’s Go Digital has created renderings that help us to familiarize ourselves with the design of this controller: the integrated software should allow access to the TV, to your mailbox, to a service to download unspecified mini-games and to a player of multimedia files such as images, music and videos.

These features include a directional cross, four buttons in the classic configuration of the PlayStation pads, two dorsal triggers, a gyroscope, a three-axis accelerometer, and a switch to turn the device on and off. It would be, in essence, a system parallel and complementary to the DualShock 5 of PS5.
