Selvom rygterne svirrer om den næste PlayStation-konsol, så har Sony ikke gjort andet end officielt at bekræfte at den er under udvikling. Der kan altså være langt igen før vi får den at se, men nogle påstår at vi faktisk allerede har set enten den færdige udgave eller et konceptbillede af en af konsollens vigtigste bestanddele - controlleren.
En række medier, deriblandt Daily Star, har lagt mærke til noget når man spiller det nye PlayStation VR-spil Astro Bot Rescue Mission, og det er at den controller der er afbilledet i spillet er lidt anderledes end den tradtionelle DualShock 4.
ResetEra-brugeren SonicFan059 har beskrevet forskellene:
"So In Astrobot your virtual DS4 morphed into this flashy looking controller. Now having lights and several colors all over it isn't realistic but there are some things that I wonder if it's a hint at the DS5. I wouldn't be surprised if it has concepts brought forth by Sony for minor improvements. "
"It has holes on the grips resembling old third party controllers with built in cooling. This I kinda doubt would be built in though. Not something I'd want but I could see it being tossed around at the planning stage. "
"They've removed the bumpers R1/L1 and if you flip the controller over you see two buttons where your middle fingers rest which would make it so you could press both R1/R2 and L1/L2 without having two fingers at the top like a claw. Which I'd have to try it but this seems like a good idea."
