Sony PS6 patents detail modular controller and new cooling system

Sony has filed two patents that hint at possible features for its next‑generation console, the PS6. One patent describes a modular controller built around magnetic connectors that can host detachable modules such as thumbsticks, keypads and a small touchscreen, along with a spinning dial for menu navigation. The design would let users rearrange components to suit personal preferences or game requirements.

Another patent focuses on thermal management, outlining a heat‑pipe based cooling architecture intended to spread heat more evenly across internal components. The system aims to provide stable temperature control for increasingly powerful hardware. Neither filing confirms that these specifications will appear in the final product; they represent experimental concepts that Sony may or may not implement.
