Sony could be working on a unique feature for its next generation of DualSense controllers that can help players have an easier time in games. A patent has revealed that artificial intelligence may be employed to help you beat tough challenges in video games.

As of right now, Sony offers DualSense in a base and Edge (basically Pro) variant. But a recent patent filing hints that a next gen DualSense controller could be in the works. Looking at the patent listing, the Japanese tech giant’s new DualSense will feature some major changes. One of the more noticeable changes is to the touchpad, which now functions as a display as well.

This isn’t a simple addition to the existing design but will also feature a robust machine learning and AI based system. The new DualSense will use the screen to help players by displaying button prompts for the most efficient course of action. To complement this, the buttons, namely sticks and triggers, actually light up as well. The system basically ensures that players know what inputs are recommended during difficult sections of the game.

On paper, this could help players defeat challenging bosses or solve hard puzzles. Even tough areas could be navigated via this feature. This feature could help make games more accessible to inexperienced gamers or people with certain kinds of disabilities. However, it needs to be disabled by default since a prompt lighting up every time you’re in-game can be frustrating to some, especially if the AI model isn’t trained properly and suggests incorrect actions.
