Sony made huge waves last week by finally confirming that its next console would be called âPlayStation 5â. We know, itâs incredibly shocking. That doesnât seem to have been enough for the leading console platform, however, as today a new post to PlayStationâs official Instagram account has led to speculation whether weâve just received our first glimpse of the PS5 controller.
In addition to confirming PlayStation 5âs official name, last weekâs WIRED interview also offered a few details about the corresponding Dualshock 5. For instance, we now know that it will feature âhaptic feedback to replace the
ârumbleâ technology found in controllers since the 5th generation of consolesâ and that it will include adaptive L2/R2 triggers to offer a range of different resistances depending on your actions. For example, car crashes and football tackles will feel notably different appropriately.

However, as you can see above, PlayStation is making waves again by offering us our first glimpse at what could be the PS5 controller thanks to a recent post on the companyâs official Instagram page. The close-up shot seemingly shows the return of the Dualshock 4âs central touchpad, features offset analogue sticks and a true D-pad. The only comment posted with the evocative controller image is â#DarkModeâ, but what does it mean?
While itâs possible that this controller could simply be a new elite-level option coming late to the PS4, the amount of mystique surrounding it suggests itâs something more. Surely, the PlayStation 5 controller makes a lot more sense, right? Either way we canât imagine itâll be long until we get the full details.
