Sony has revealed the official design for the DualSense, the new controller for its next-gen console, PlayStation 5. The PS5's new controller alters the design of PS4's Dualshock 4 in a few ways--most notably, changing the overall shape to more closely resemble an Xbox One controller or Switch Pro controller--including the implementation of a built-in microphone.

"DualSense also adds a built-in microphone array, which will enable players to easily chat with friends without a headset--ideal for jumping into a quick conversation," Sony senior vice president of platform planning and management Hideaki Nishino wrote in a blog post. "But of course, if you are planning to chat for a longer period, it's good to have that headset handy."

The DualSense makes plenty of other changes too. It ditches the Dualshock 4's Share button for a new Create button, goes for a two-toned color design as opposed to a single shade, moves the light bar to now encircle the touchpad, and adjusts the angles of the triggers. Some features do remain the same though--for example, the DualSense will include a rechargeable battery like the DualShock 4, as opposed to supporting AA batteries like the Xbox Series X's controller.
