Rumor has it that the PlayStation 5 console will be twice as powerful as the previous version, PlayStation 4. This could be the reason why the upper section of the PlayStation 5 console reveals large holes on all sides.

In addition, the new controller will come with adaptive triggers incorporated into the L2/R2 trigger buttons. The game’s developers will be able to “program the resistance of the triggers,” so users can feel the draw of a bow or when driving through rough terrain.

The controllers will also be charged by the use of Type-C USB.
