A game rewind button could actually be a thing on future PlayStation hardware.
A PlayStation patent for a controller with a rewind button has been spotted
It could allow players to quickly undo mistakes in-game and try again
It also seems to have multimedia applications
A patent submitted by Sony for a PlayStation controller with a dedicated rewind button has recently been published.
Available for public viewing at PatentScope — and discovered by Tech4Gamers — the patent shows that the rewind button would be situated where the Share button is on a DualSense Wireless Controller (that’s just to the right of the d-pad). The feature would seemingly allow players to rewind their gameplay in order to go back on a mistake or try a section of a level again, for example.
