Sony Interactive Entertainment seems to have designed the PlayStation controller specifically for mobile games and has recently applied for a patent.
The patent, issued this week by the Japanese branch of SIE, describes a system for playing games on a device that is combined with two controller handles. The handle is similar to the PS4's DualShock4 handle, rather than the newer PS5 DualSense, which is described as "the left and right grip parts held by the user's left and right hands."
At present, the handle has only applied for a patent, and the actual product is still unknown. If it does, the controller is expected to be used in conjunction with smartphones to play PlayStation games through remote playback or through the cloud.
