People stunned after discovering amazingly detailed hidden easter egg on all PS5 controllers

Xbox stans, could it be time to move on over?

PlayStation fans are going wild for a ‘hidden Easter egg’ located ‘ON’ the actual controller.

Xbox owners, you may be loyal to your device, but what would happen if you found out there’s actually a hidden feature of the PlayStation 5 controller?

Yeah fair enough, it may not make much of a difference to the actual gaming experience, but it’s still a cool fact nonetheless. But the question is PS5 owners, have you spotted the ‘Easter egg’?

A gamer took to Reddit thread r/mildlyinteresting under the username u/Taskmaster_Fantatic to share a video of their findings after they decided to flip over a PlayStation controller and examine it in more detail.

At first, it’s hard not to sit watching the video and question: “What is it I’m meant to be looking at here?”

However, the user soon keeps zooming in – and their camera slowly focusing – to reveal an unexpected surprise even the most eagle-eyed of us would likely miss unless looking – or feeling – for it.

Basically, there’s a whole lot more than you realize to the texture you feel on the back of the PS5 controller.

It’s not just any old texture, such as dots or a rough fabric to help you grip the controller, but the design of it’s actually made up of tiny symbols.

And it’s not just made up of any old symbols, but the front-facing buttons i.e. X, O, a square and triangle.

The Reddit user said: “I had no idea this was a thing! Did you know about this?!”

However, someone did. TikToker named 100 Percent Crit also identified the Easter egg, taking to the platform to reveal their friend was ‘really impressed’ when they showed them the controller detail. The user noted there are ‘40,000 PlayStation symbols’ featured on the back of the device ‘to be exact’.

“It’s also the same on the inside of the PS5’s face plates,” the gamer added.

And it’s not taken long for others to weigh in.

One TikToker wrote: “That’s sick.”

“Oi that’s acutually muad,” another added.

A Reddit user wrote: “Wtf who knew that plain white boring controller we PS5 users have has square x triangle and circle printed all over it. Now that makes me wonder if there are symbols printed all over that limited edition controller I have.”

“Xbox gets Call of Duty, Playstation gets alphabet soup,” a second commented.

And a third resolved: “I pride myself on my observation skills but this humbled me. good find! always thought that controller had the most standard grip.”
