Sony filed a patent for a new PlayStation 4 controller, but the appearance of this device is not what makes it interesting. Rather, its claim to use mobile phone vibrations as input and power off battery life more than two years on one charge. The release date could be near if Sony truly plans to make this happen – how would you feel about playing your favorite games with an extra-long rechargeable PS4 controller?

The “cheap ps4 controller” is a Sony patent that shows the company’s desire to bring the DualShock 4-Style PlayStation Controller for Mobile Gaming.

The Japanese division of Sony Interactive Entertainment has patented what looks to be a PlayStation controller intended exclusively for mobile gaming. The drawings, as discovered by VGC, hint to a gadget that resembles a DualShock 4 controller but has the middle piece stretched to accommodate the length of a smartphone. If it is produced, the controller will most likely be an excellent companion for playing PlayStation games on the cloud or using services like Remote Play.

From VGC:

The controller has “a left side grip section and a right side grip portion clasped by the user’s left and right hands,” similar to the DualShock 4 on the PS4 rather than the newer DualSense on the PS5.

The device’s associated drawings lack “a shaft component that may be tilted by the user, and detect the tilting direction and tilting amount of the shaft section,” according to the patent.

The accessory makes sense in light of statements made by PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan earlier this year regarding Sony’s plans to bring some of its largest IPs on mobile devices:

In a Q&A session with investors, Ryan remarked, “We’ve been thinking about how players enjoy our content and have had some early success with experimenting with mobile games and applications to bring more options to gamers.” “One of the areas we’re looking at to reach millions of players outside of our platforms is mobile.”

“PlayStation has a large library of different first-party IP that can be adapted to smartphone gaming and used to supplement our AAA and live service titles.” Please stay tuned as we explore the mobile industry with some fantastic PlayStation titles.”
