PS5 / DS5 Controller Rumors Surface Amid New Pictures from Tidux!
The Internet is abuzz today as longstanding video game industry insider Tidux tweeted out some pictures of what appears to be a new PlayStation Controller, rumored to be everything from a PS5 / DS5 Controller to a PlayStation 5 DevKit prototype used to develop and test Sony's next-generation titles. 
According to Daniel Ahmad (aka ZhugeEX on ResetEra forum) back in January of this year, to quote:
"PS5 dev kits are out there and I've heard positive things about it. But I wouldn't expect any information in the immediate future."
In recent months we've also seen both a PS5 Concept Design video featuring a touch screen alongside a PS5 User Interface Concept Design video by Joseph Dumary... only time will tell how far apart these ideas are from what Sony ends up delivering for their PlayStation 5 console and DualShock 5 Controller.
Update: Also below is a picture of what appears to be a PS5 DevKit!

Sony Unveils Free PlayStation Plus Games for April 2019
Spring is here and today Sony unveiled the free PlayStation Plus games for April 2019, namely Conan Exiles and The Surge where gamers can either survive brutal exile in an ancient civilization or fight for your life in an uncompromising dystopian future. 
Check out further details below alongside the PS Plus April 2019 teaser trailer video courtesy of Content Producer Matthew Groizard, to quote:
Conan Exiles
Drawing inspiration from the classic barbarian tales, survival open world survival game Conan Exiles winds back the clock to the very dawn of civilization, casting you as a forgotten exile abandoned alone in the desert for crimes unknown.
Starting out with nothing but a loincloth and your own two hands, you’ll have to explore this vast, hostile world, gathering materials, crafting tools and carving out a new life for yourself in a world filled with danger.
Exploring a shared online space, you’ll have the chance to meet with other players, build settlements and bases together, and even raise your own armed fortresses as you advance your mission to dominate this brave new world.
The Surge
From the creators of brutal medieval action-adventure Lords of the Fallen comes a challenging sci-fi spin on the hardcore RPG genre.
Take on the role of new staff member Warren who, following a trying first day on the job, awakens to the aftermath of an unknown cataclysm to find his new workplace devastated and its ruins overrun by out-of-control machines.
Explore the twisting maze-like environment of the CREO research facility, fending off haywire tech, scavenging new parts and weapons, rescuing survivors and unlocking the secrets of this vast, abandoned facility.
Both titles will be available to download from PlayStation Store on April 2.
