Sony announces that the PlayStation 5 will have a new controller. Dubbed as the DualSense, the wireless controller gives gamers a whole new level of immersive experience. A first for Sony's console controllers, it is also equipped with a microphone and a USB-C port. Sony also made some tweaks to the profile of the controller, upgrading the PlayStation button to the actual logo of the classic gaming console, longer battery life, and lighter weight. Sony is exploring a future where PlayStation controllers may never need to be plugged in again. The patent, titled "Operation Device," reveals Sony’s plans to embed photovoltaic elements—the same technology used in solar panels—into the structure of PlayStation controllers. According to the document, Sony intends for the solar-powered controller to operate entirely without traditional power sources. While this doesn’t guarantee that solar-powered controllers will hit the market any time soon, Sony has a history of filing patents that eventually influence its consumer products.
