Sony is apparently working on a new portable PlayStation platform. New online speculations have recently surfaced, suggesting that Sony may be planning to introduce a PSP (PlayStation Portable) and PS Vita replacement shortly.
While a new portable device is reportedly under development, it doesn’t sound like it will be a fully autonomous product as Sony’s prior gear was.
Another PlayStation portable is reportedly being developed at Sony, but it will be connected to the PS5 instead, according to a report from Insider Gaming.
This new portable, said to have the codename “Q Lite,” will function with the PS5 and provide remote play for video games.
The Q Lite is believed to support streaming, which will enable games to run at 60 frames per second with 1080p graphics.
It’s also stated that this new piece of technology would debut before the PS5 Pro, which is presently expected to enter shelves during the 2024 Christmas shopping season.
Given Sony’s increased emphasis on remote play over the past few years, this move would generally make perfect sense.
Sony would be able to emphasize this mode of play even more in the future if it had a specialized portable that allows remote play with PS5.
However, it still seems strange that Sony would decide not to make a stronger move in the portable market at this time.
Given the Nintendo Switch’s enormous popularity, it makes sense that Sony wouldn’t want to miss out on it on the market.
However, considering the PlayStation Vita’s abject failure, it’s possible that Sony won’t ever release another piece of hardware in this way again in an effort to challenge Nintendo.
Are you looking forward to the portable gaming device getting released by PlayStation, or are you sticking to the classic console as far as this particular gamin brand is concerned?
