Is This What The DualShock 5 Looks Like?

Images of what the DualShock 5 could look like have surfaced as a patent was passed through a Japanese office earlier this week.
The story was originally reported by Video Games Chronicle and revealed that images of the new controller were made available online thanks to a patent. The images do look a lot like the DualShock 4, although with slight changes.
Most notably is the small microphone below what is currently the PS Home button, a feature that was teased by Mark Cerny in the Wired article a couple of months ago. This small mic will likely be used as a way to allow you to say things like “PlayStation save clip” and hopefully “PlayStation beat the damn boss in Bloodborne 2 because it’s too hard.”
Also, you can see at the top the USB Type-C connection that has already been confirmed.
It’s slightly bigger as a controller as well with a thicker centre. Not making it quite as big as an Xbox one Nintendo Pro controller, but noticeably #thick-er
Ashley and I discussed the controller patent on this week’s episode of Platinum Explosion which you can check out in the video below.
What do you think of the controller images? Let us know in the comment below.
