DualShock 4 controller catches fire during gameplay
Redditor Chino1130 posted an image of his controller, saying that it caught fire while he was playing GTA Online this morning.
From the look of it, it appears that the lithium ion battery in the controller malfunctioned and burned the plastic cover that separates it from the logic board.
According to Chino1130, the battery itself is the original in the controller, not an aftermarket one. This is the first time we’ve heard a DualShock 4 controller catching fire.

1989lolohnoeszszAlpina Should have gone with Xbox ;) How do people even use Playstation controllers? they must have small hands.
I have been on Xbox for almost 6 years and I have both consoles and tbh the PS4 has a much better controller.
How the hell is it much better? They pretty much copied the xbox controller but just made it worse.
yah I play both and PS has a lot of advantages this time around but their controller is definitely not one of them

How much would you shit yourself if this happened to you?
Wonder if he was on for a long time or only just got on
If he had been on for hours on end then fair enough

Yep he should have and I agree the PS4 controller is quite awkward to use.
Nah like majority of gamers, he wanted the best console to play on hence why he chose PS4

That would be crazy to be playing a game and the controller catches on fire.
Good thing I'm always drinking water.
