Sometime ago Google issued invitations to a Google-sponsored event at the Game Developers Conference, increasing rumors that Google is building its own gaming console and a game-streaming service. Now, a published patent has just been discovered. Issued to Google (Pub. No.: US 2019/0030425 A1), the patent features a game controller capable of sending and receiving signals to and from a network or a host device with storage and a local processor. Similar to the Xbox One or PS4 controllers, the design sees a familiar D-Pad and Dual-Analog stick configuration, as well as a microphone and numerous buttons and triggers.

The blueprints can be seen in the images below, but for a better look, renderings were also posted to Twitter.
