Leaked images first emerged of the devkit for the PS5 back in November, but this it is unlikely that this is what the new console will look like.

Nevertheless, we do now have some idea of how the new DualShock 5 controllers will look.

The new PS5 controllers are allegedly larger than their predecessors, due to more features coming to the gamepad.

Much like the vibrations of DualShock, there will be greater feedback from the controller, including levels of resistance that reflect the game you are playing.

Trekking through mud or sand? Expect the joysticks to be tougher to move. Flying through the air? Then you should just breeze through without any trouble.

What about the Xbox Series X controller?

Microsoft confirmed the new Xbox will arrive later this year, revealing the Xbox Series X family.

It promises to be far more powerful than the Xbox One X, which currently sits as the flagship current-gen console in Microsoft’s Xbox family.

Here we go through everything we know about the controller and what we would like to see.

The new Xbox Wireless Controller isn’t a far cry from the existing Xbox One version.

Bumpers and rumble triggers remain, but Microsoft claims the pad’s “size and shape have been refined to accommodate an even wider range of people”.

This means it’s ever so slightly smaller than before.

Elsewhere, a PS4-style ‘share’ button, making it easier to upload clips and screenshots is featured, while the D-pad has transitioned from a cross shape to a circle style similar to that of the Elite controller’s.

The new controller comes with the Xbox Series X consoles, but are also compatible with Windows PCs and the Xbox One.
