New Playstation Handheld Console Its Confirmed!!
We can now conform that Sony have said they are working on a new handheld games console Project Q’ is in development now. Early info is saying that it will be 1080p and run at 60fps so thats going to be just silky for football and shooters where frame rate is vital.
Whats it Like?
As for the console’s physical features, early prototypes show the console will look a lot like a PlayStation 5 controller, but with a massive 8-inch LCD touchscreen in the center. The device sports adaptive triggers for haptic feedback and will include what you would come to expect from a handheld – Volume buttons, speakers, an audio input jack, etc.
But Wait…..
One major issue is that if rumours are true, you already need a ps5 to run the thing which is far from ideal but who knows this is brand new info so I’m sure time will tell. While the PS5 allows players to stream new games via the cloud over PS Plus Premium, there seems to be no plans to allow PlayStation Portal owners to stream any PS5 games that aren’t already installed on their home console. That positions the PlayStation Portal as more of a PS5 accessory rather than a full-blown, standalone device.
