A few months ago, Sony confirmed they were working on a streaming handheld. Today, we got more details on what they’re calling the PlayStation Portal.
The Portal (or, I guess, the PSP, if you) will solely be a remote play device — which means that anyone hoping for Sony’s return to handheld gaming based on the leaks from a month ago will probably be a little disappointed. According to a CNET hands-on video, there’s no onboard memory, which means that the Portal will connect to the PS5 over Wi-Fi. The PlayStation Blog post also noted that the new Portal won’t support PS VR2 games or games that are streamed through PS Plus Premium’s cloud streaming service.
The PlayStation Portal will have an 8-inch LCD screen that’s capable of 1080p resolution at 60fps and that doubles as a touchscreen touchpad. It’ll also have a 3.5MM jack in case you want to plug in headphones — like, say, the Pulse Explore wireless earbuds & Pulse Elite wireless headset that are also shown off on the PlayStation Blog post linked above.
There’s no release date yet, but the PlayStation Portal will launch later this year for $199.99 USD (and more elsewhere). Keep scrolling to see pictures of the new device, along with the new headset and earbuds!
