Sony working on PlayStation DualShock-like controller for phones and this is how it looks

Sony has since long aimed at being a big player in the smartphone gaming arena and a new patent by the company shows its latest attempt in the segment. Here is what it is and what we think it would establish for Sony in the long run.

Tech giant Sony is working on PlayStation controllers for smartphones. A new patent has emerged on the internet and it shows off a controller that looks suspiciously like a DualShock 4 but with modifications for mobile devices, sparking widespread excitement among gamers.

The patent images were first spotted by Video Games Chronicle, and allegedly filed by the company's Japan division. The images show how the Sony controller will look when connected to a mobile phone. It does resemble regular mobile controllers, in that the right and left sides of the controller has been split. As mentioned earlier, the controller has a design more similar to PS4's DualShock controller and not the PlayStation 5's DualSense controller.
