Sony Interactive Entertainment is reportedly getting ready to announce several new hardware products, including a PS5 ‘Pro’ controller.
In a report published onTry Hard Guides, industry insider Tom Henderson claims to have heard from several sources that the platform holder will unveil new hardware at the end June, although this won’t include a new console.
Described to Henderson as a “genuine professional controller” forPS5, the new pad will reportedly feature removable analogue sticks and grips, trigger stops, and back paddles.
Buttons under the analogue sticks are said to allow users to remove the analogue unit completely, presumably enabling them to replace it with a new one rather than having to buy another controller should issues like stick drift arise.
Henderson said he was provided with images of an alleged prototype for the PS5 Pro controller, which it’s claimed will have significant software upgrades.
Following reports of a delay, it was recently claimed thatSonywill confirm aNovember release date for God of War: Ragnaröklater this month.
