The PS5 controller (almost certainly called DualShock 5) could have a built-in microphone, according to a recent Sony patent. The patent was spotted by Segment Next (followed by a Reddit user) yesterday, pointing to what to possibly expect from Sony?s next controller. A patent sketch shows a mic beneath the touchpad, which could allow for voice commands.
It?s common for companies to secure patents for ideas that never see the light of day, so this particular one isn?t necessarily a concrete confirmation of what?s to come. However, it isn?t outlandish to expect the DualShock 5 to include a built-in mic for taking voice commands since many modern TV remotes have similar functionality and home assistants like Google and Alexa are very common. And when you consider the PS4 is already capable of taking voice commands via the PlayStation Camera or other connected mic, it doesn?t seem to be outside the realm of possibility to expect Sony to expand on that idea.
