Sony PlayStation controller payment patent

A nearby phone could send payment information to the controller, which would then pass it to the PlayStation for purchases such as games, DLC and in-game content. The patent mentions NFC, Bluetooth and physical contact, with the controller potentially using haptics, sound or lights to confirm the connection. It could support payment methods including credit cards, bank accounts, gift cards and digital wallets. Sony has patented a system that could turn the PlayStation controller into a payment bridge between your phone and console. It's only a patent for now, but Sony is clearly exploring ways to make digital purchases even more seamless. #PlayStation5
