A new patent from Sony hints that the next PlayStation controller could change temperatures based on an in-game object or environment. Sony has filed many of these kinds of patents over the past month or so, all of which suggest new ways that the console maker could make the gameplay experience feel more immersive or add new quality-of-life features to PlayStation. These include patents for more intuitive parental controls, a system for preventing underage PlayStation VR users from accessing adult content, and even a “virtual dojo” to help players improve their skills.
