In its heyday, I used the PlayStation Portable (PSP) obsessively, but other handheld devices didn’t appeal to me—no, not even Nintendo Switch. That may change in the future, as Sony is reportedly developing a new portable console that will offer games right on the device. Bloomberg reports.
Yes, it’s claimed that the handheld will have games right on the device, so you won’t have to invest in a PlayStation 5 (or whatever number we’ll come up with at that point). The news comes from unnamed sources that Sony declined to comment on the possible development.
Sony is currently offering $200 PlayStation Portal however, unlike my beloved PSP and PS Vita, it only works for streaming games from the PlayStation. We weren’t fans when Sony released it last November 68 in our review and found it to be “among the most variable devices”. Even if he and the PS5 have a stable Wi-Fi connection, it’s not the best quality picture.
However, we’ve evaluated it over the past year, and some of our Engadget editors have enjoyed it. Also, last week Sony started testing cloud flow In the Portal for PlayStation Plus Premium members. It’s a more reliable connection than in the past and offers more than 120 PS5 games.
