Electronic manufacturer Sony has recently filed a patent for a new PlayStation controller with World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO). The design looks similar to the current DualShock 4, but two extra buttons on it, reports said on Monday.
On the other side, the backside is the exact same but includes two new configurable buttons, which means one can program them to perform the same function of another button.
