Sony could be working on an elite version of the PS4 controller, according to a series of new patent listings.
First reported by Push Square, the patent in question has been available for a while now, but has since been refiled by Sony.
The patent displays what appears to be a Dualshock 4 controller with additional paddles and customisable features, much like the Elite Controller for Xbox One.
