Sony To Reveal PS5 Pro Controller With Removable Analog Sticks Soon, Report Says
Sony is releasing a PlayStation 5 "Pro" controller with removable analog sticks and rear paddle triggers, similar to the Xbox Elite controller, according to a report from
Tom Henderson for Try Hard Guides.
The report said Sony will reveal this "genuine professional controller" in the coming weeks. Intriguingly, there is a rumor that suggests Sony will hold a briefing of some type at the end of June where it may also reveal the
release date for God of War: Ragnarok.
According to Try Hard Guides, the codename for the Pro controller is "Hunt." It's reported to have removable analog sticks, trigger stops, and buttons on the back.
Henderson claims to have seen images of a prototype for the rumored controller, though no images were published in the report. That said, Henderson said the alleged Pro controller is similar in style to the existing PS5 DualShock albeit with the aforementioned updates.
The alleged new PS5 Pro controller will also have new "grips" to help users hold the controller, the report said, and these may be removable.
According to the report, Sony will reveal new hardware--but not a new console--at the end of June, though it's unclear if this rumored new controller may be part of that. GameSpot has contacted Sony for comment on this report.
A report says Sony is following in the footsteps of Microsoft and making a modular controller.
