- Sony has filed a patent for a new PS5 controller.
- The patent shows a controller that can store, pair, and charge earbuds.
- The charging slot could appear on the front, back, sides, top, or bottom of the device.
With built-in speakers, a microphone, a touchpad, haptic triggers, and more, the DualSense is already a feature-rich controller. But Sony could be looking to pack in even more functionality by merging its next PS5 controller with an earbuds charging case.
According to a patent filed by Sony, first spotted by GameRant, the company is looking into potentially giving its next controller the ability to store, pair, and charge earbuds. The DualSense successor would feature a charging case-like compartment in the back where you can place your earbuds and charge them. But that’s not the only way you would be able to power up the audio device.
