The PlayStation 5 features a redesigned DualShock 4 controller that has been upgraded with a touchscreen display. The PS5 controller also includes a USB Type-C port for charging and data transfer.
A New Kind Of Gamepad
The new controller is compatible with existing games, but it won’t work with any other controllers. You can use the new controller with the PS4 Pro, too.
The new PS5 controller features a redesigned touchpad and buttons. Sony’s new controller features a touch screen that allows players to navigate menus and select items using gestures. You’ll be able to use the controller to play games without having to look at the TV, which should help prevent motion sickness while playing.
In addition to having a touch screen, the PS5 controller will also come equipped with a USB Type-C connector. That means you’ll be able to charge the controller while playing games.
OLED Display
The new PS5 console features a redesigned DualShock 4 gamepad that has been upgraded with an OLED screen. The OLED panel allows players to see information such as health bars, weapon levels, and other important stats while playing games. The OLED display has a resolution of 1,440 x 2,160 pixels, making it sharper than the 1080p displays found on current consoles. It also supports HDR (high dynamic range) technology, which means it can produce more vivid colors.
In addition, the controller displays information such as game stats and health bars.
Touch Controls
The OLED screen will allow players to use touch controls to navigate through menus and select items. This feature was first introduced on the Nintendo Switch, so it should come as no surprise that Sony is following suit.
Dual Analog Sticks
The PlayStation 5 controller also includes dual analog sticks, just like the Xbox One X. These two analog sticks will allow players to move the camera around the virtual world while playing games.
Sony’s new PS5 controller features two analog sticks, four face buttons, and a touchpad. The company says the design allows players to “easily navigate menus, games, and other content” while offering “an immersive gaming experience.”
You’ll be able to customize the buttons to suit your play style, and there will be two different modes available: “Classic” mode and “Custom.” In Classic mode, you’ll use the left stick to move your character around, while the right stick controls movement. In Custom mode, you’ll be able to assign each button to a specific function. For example, you could map the trigger button to jump, the face button to crouch, and the shoulder button to aim.
Share Play
The DualShock 4 has a share button that allows users to easily share gameplay footage online. This feature is not present on the PS5 controller. However, Sony did announce that the PS5 controller will support streaming via Twitch.
The new controller is backwards compatible with current games and accessories. The controller will also include a built-in speaker and microphone, allowing players to chat with friends while playing online multiplayer games. The new controller would be compatible with existing games, but it wouldn’t support crossplay between Xbox One and PC players.
