Sony, which holds a game controller on its mobile phone, is patented. The layout of mobile PS games?

Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) has obtained a patent, which is believed to be a controller for playing games on a smartphone.

According to overseas game media VGC, the patent was made public by SIE's Japanese legal person last week. A system for clamping a smartphone with two controllers is described. Forms like Nintendo Switch have been commercialized by game accessories companies such as Razer Kishi.

In the impression of the patented product, compared with the new DualSense used by PS5, it is more like PS4's DUALSHOCK4, which is described as "the grip on the left side and the grip part on the right side held by the user's left and right hands". In addition, the function of "setting the axis of the user tilt, which can detect the tilt direction and tilt of the axis" is omitted in the figure (originally envisaged the gyro sensor but not depicted).

The patent was granted amid rumors that Sony is re-entering mobile games. First, in April, SIE noticed that PlayStation Studios had launched a job advertisement for the head of the mobile division. In the following month, SIE Jim Ryan President and CEO said he planned to bring some "iconic IP" into mobile business by 2021, and Nicola Sebastiani, head of content at Apple Arcade, was appointed head of mobile business before October.

"PlayStation has a large number of first-party IP directories that can be migrated to smartphone games to complement AAA titles and real-time service games," Ryan said. We will work with PlayStation's excellent franchise to develop the mobile market, please look forward to it. "

Both DualSense and DUALSHOCK4 can easily connect to iPhone and Android devices. Having said that, it's hard to say that putting a smartphone on the table or connecting it with an adapter to integrate with the controller is easy to play. on the other hand, products from other companies such as Razer Kishi are different from the button configuration of the PlayStation series controller (many follow the Xbox controller), and many people should feel uncoordinated.

There are also rumors that Sony is preparing a counterpunch for Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass. It is not clear whether this means game quota service, or whether you can experience the same cloud games (or both) on smartphones, where PlayStation-born games will be operated by PlayStation pure controllers.

The dream of Xperia Play, a mobile-oriented PlayStation phone, was dashed and 2015 is completely over, but the second challenge is to wish you good luck.
