Portable gaming devices are coming back into fashion. The Nintendo Switch has played a substantial part in that, providing users with the choice to play on a TV or untethered, if they prefer. Of course, mobile is an enormous part of the puzzle too, with very capable smartphones in the palms of millions around the world.
Sony and PlayStation shifted away from this area following the modest sales numbers of PS Vita, and we never expected the platform holder to take that route again. However, with rumours swirling about the company's next-gen plans involving a handheld counterpart to the PS6, it's left us thinking about what a modern Sony portable would entail.
The thing is, even Nintendo isn't making dedicated handheld gaming systems anymore. Producing a steady cadence of games for a home console and a portable is simply unworkable nowadays, and the Switch is an ideal solution to that problem. It's why we expected Sony would never consider a follow-up to PSP and PS Vita, and we still don't think it will. A standalone handheld needs dedicated time and resources to make bespoke games for it, and that's practically impossible if PS Studios is expected to keep up its home console output on top of that.
No, a new PlayStation handheld would be much more in line with the Steam Deck. Valve's portable PC, and other devices like it, are proving very popular in enthusiast circles. These bulky, expensive handhelds are different because they tap into game libraries you already own. Your Steam games are waiting for you on Steam Deck, with an ever-increasing number of titles playable on the system.
This is the approach Sony would likely take with a new portable; in theory, it'd be able to play all the games in your PSN library. You can buy a PS6, and if you want, you can also get a portable iteration, with lower specs, and it'll play pretty much everything at reduced resolution or level of detail. To us, this is the only way a portable PlayStation would make any sense.
Of course, it sounds ideal, but there would be some drawbacks. It'd be pricey, for one. Steam Deck's base model is about $400, and Asus' ROG Ally is even more; given Sony isn't shying away from premium price tags (PS5 Pro's $700 still stings), we'd expect the cost of a handheld PlayStation capable of playing your existing library wouldn't be far behind the main PS6.
However, it wouldn't need to sell enormous numbers. Much like the mentioned portable PCs — and PS5 Pro, actually — it would be a more niche device. If you're buying a PS6, you probably wouldn't need the portable system as well, unless you spend a lot of time away from your setup. And even then, assuming Sony keeps the PS Portal around, that's a much cheaper option, albeit more limited than our hypothetical handheld.
While it's easy to dismiss all the rumours on this subject, we don't think it's at all outside the realm of possibility — especially when you think about Microsoft, which is planning an Xbox handheld of some kind. Phil Spencer says it's years away, but the company has confirmed it's exploring the idea. Sony probably is as well, but just has tighter lips.
The way gaming is heading, it seems to us that it's trending more towards an environment where you can take your games with you anywhere. Forever games like Fortnite or Genshin Impact are on every modern device, and your progress is transferable from one to the next. Japan has always had a taste for portable gaming, and it seems to be spreading. We reckon Sony will aim to capitalise on that front, with PS Portal, this next-gen portable console, and its burgeoning interest in mobile games.
In many ways the PS Vita was far ahead of its time; it featured things like Remote Play, cross-saves, cross-buy, and more, all of which is now becoming the standard. The portable gaming landscape has changed considerably, and it may finally be time for Sony to hop back in, albeit from a different angle.
There's lots to consider with a modern portable from PlayStation, then, but what do you think? Would you be interested in something akin to the Steam Deck from Sony? Take a vote in our poll, and share your thoughts in the comments section below.

In principle I would be indeed very interested in this. But I wouldn't buy it at launch, for one major reason: I wouldn't know if it would be a PSP or a PS Vita in terms of Sony's support. And that makes a world of a difference when it comes to whether it would be worth getting one instead of just continuing to use Steam Deck (or its successor) and Chiaki.
Not at a steam deck price i wouldnt thats for sure!
Hell yeah I would!
Nope. Only because as I get older, the smaller screens don’t play well with my eyes.
Full console (or Switch style hybrid that I’d play as a regular console anyway) for me.
Have the Steam deck, it's absolutely brilliant.
Honest question here: If Sony used the PS4 tech for a portable, would that make it easier to invest in it? Like, isntead of creating a new tech and split resources financing 2 systems, they could adapt the old gen into portable hardware. I would imagine this could make it easier to have "cross gen", maybe? Not having the exact games per say, but I would imagine it would be easier to get the last gen version buffed up for current gen. Since it's a portable, perhaps it would even make it much more acceptable for the versions to be so different.
I suppose the resources invested would be higher than the way current cross gen have been made, but I believe it would be much less than developing for 2 completely different machines (like comparing Nintendo's N64 & Gameboy).
I don't know much, but I dare to dream. Hahahhaha
F*ck yeah, be able to download your PS4/PS5 games (and potentially PSX/PS2/PS3/ and PSP games) all on one device would be epic
@dskatter Do you consider the portal's screen too small as well, or if they made the portal into a handheld, would the screen size suffice?
Honest question.
Thanks to the article writer for including an option for not giving a crap about portable gaming. A handheld means less than nothing to me.
Why would I want to hunch over a tiny screen with cramped controls for a compromised experience when I can game from the comfort of a plush armchair on a glorious 77” 4K@120hz OLED with a Dualsense? No one goes to rooftop soirées like in those embarrassing Switch ads. Not everyone has a 2hr commute on the train or school bus. I can’t speak for others, but when I’m sitting on the porcelain Xbox I’m not glued to a screen. I don’t understand the draw of a handheld, outside that of maybe schoolchildren.
It definitely would be welcome but since Sony brings their games to PC anyway not really needed (at least for me) since you can just play them on Steam Deck/ROG Ally etc
@mariomaster96 What if you already bought all their games on PS5/PS4, though?
Why is £400 expensive for a gaming device like Steam Deck? What do you think you should pay for it, £100? It's slightly more than a Switch Oled. It's so tiresome. I'd definelty be up for a Sony handheld
If it looked like the one pictured, sure .
We don't need a dedicated console to make games for, just a device to play our library of games locally on the go.
I'm sure they can make something and sell it for less than PSVR2 and then you don't have to support it with software. That's what was a good selling point for the SteamDeck. It's your current Steam Library on go. Just give me the PlayStation version of that.
@charbtronic you've described the Portal.
@riceNpea locally is the keyword. No Internet connection required to play your games. I can't bring my portal on a train, plane, or even some hotels because it's so dependent on the Internet connection.
@get2sammyb Tbh i just rebuy them on PC in a sale.
But I get that others won't do that
But that would only matter anyway if 1) there is crossplay between PS5 and handheld and 2) the handheld supports disc since most of my PS5 library is physical
The biggest thing I like about my Steam Deck is it shares my Steam library, so if I buy something on Steam, I can play it on both my PC and my Deck.
My biggest problem with a lot of handheld only devices is you have to build a library dedicated for it, and a lot of IPs may become handheld only or you may have certain entries in a franchise that are cut off on said handheld (i.e. Uncharted on Vita or Gravity Rush 1 if we never got the Remaster and 2 for example).
So if Sony could make a device similar to the Steam Deck that shares your digital library and can actually store games on the device and not just stream, it would be a game changer for Sony.
@mariomaster96 "since Sony brings their games to PC anyway not really needed"
This wouldn't be aimed at Steam users, they have the Steam deck. This is for strictly PlayStation users who have a giant collection of PS4/PS5 (plus future PS6 titles) games and want to play it on the go.
@charbtronic I guess it depends in the country you live in. I can do all that in the UK.
If you want to be able to play your library, I don't know how you'd do it without internet.
@Juanalf Iike I said in another comment, that would only matter if 1) we assume it has crossplay 2) the user has all their games digital or the device supports discs
1 million% yes!
Abso-freakin-lutely!
Nuff said.
Have desktop mode too (basically becomes a TV based console) where PSSR can work its magic
Yes. I just hope it has better form factor that the steam deck. That thing's ugly as sin.
I would like to see a new PlayStation Portable machine can play physical cartridge and UMD PSP.
Thanks to Chiaki I already do have one. I often remote play my PS5 on my Deck when I'm out or abroad.
I would definitely be interested, even at the price point of around $399 to $499.
A handheld that can play PS6 games natively with reduced fidelity sounds awesome, throw in steam compatibility and its a done deal.
I can imagine a PS6 for around €599 to €649 and a PS6 handheld for around the aforementioned prices.
And in addition keep the cheap streaming only handheld option for $199. Thereby having options for a wider range of budgets.
If it let me download PS5 games and play them natively I’d absolutely get one. My Steam Deck is my most frequently used system.
I'd prefer another version of the portal that lets me install games from PS1 - PS4, but if they go the full steam deck route then so be it. I'd get that too.
Hell yes, and I think it's pretty much guarteened at this point, the portable market has exploded since the failure of the Vita, and the demand for the Portal has showcased that people want it from them.
@charbtronic To be fair, that's what the article is arguing in favour of. A device that logs in to your PSN account and lets you play all of your games locally on it.
I wouldn’t buy one but I’m sure it would be succesful if it was the right price point. I have a Steam Deck which I love for the versatility; I can stream my PS and Xbox from it, I can use it docked or handheld, it works with all my Bluetooth controllers and can pick up games where I left off on PC.
@ThorsHammer I'm not convinced it's exploded personally. While it's outrageously popular in the enthusiast bubbles, Steam Deck has actually sold far fewer units than the PS Vita, which was a disastrous device for Sony.
Of course, the difference — as Stephen rightly argues — is that because the library is shared, it doesn't necessarily need to sell millions of units to ensure software support. The support is just inherently part of the overall ecosystem, and the handheld is just one way of accessing it.
Nope
Not really in the habit of wanting to or needing to game on the go or in other circumstances. I can just play on my TV at home when I set aside time to do so. Not one to need a screen to stare at and distract me from this reality everywhere I go, or share specific screen time amongst competing household members.
However, The latter I do get as a selling point for those that share one large screen amongst many.
Oh yeah I would! As long as it could play them natively. I love my Portal but streaming just isn’t the way forward and never will be
@get2sammyb that's the Portal, surely. How does anyone expect to do that without internet connection?
@Shepherd_Tallon It would be cool if they release a version that has even just 128Gb storage. To install PS1 and PS2 games. Some kind of streaming/retro handheld device. I can imagine a Portal version with a Led screen and a little bit of storage for around $249.
A version that could play PS4 games locally does sound cool, but that will be a much more sophisticated version than this, needing far better specs. I would buy it in a second, though.
Obviously my answer is - Absolutely. Please not another streaming ps portal.
@riceNpea PS Portal requires a PS5 console and/or an Internet connection for cloud streaming.
The idea proposed here is a Steam Deck-style solution, where the software can run natively on the device, presumably at a lower-spec.
It'd effectively be a PS5 in your hands, that plays all the games you already own.
@LogicStrikesAgain I'm in the same boat tbh.
I've been so impressed with the Portal that I'll probably pick up whatever they do next too.
Hopefully it comes a year after the PS6, and not at the same time.
My wallet won't thank me. (It never does)
@get2sammyb I'm trying to wrap my head around why Sony would bother when the Vita did so poorly and the Portal is doing well. Looks to me they've found the sweet spot already.
The devil is in the detail here.
The portable PC market is obviously starting to become a big deal and being able to seamlessly carry over your library and saves to another device would be amazing but what's this thing going to cost to make sure it can run all PS5 games?
Further, people still have concerns that the PS4 holds back thr PS5 and that series S holds back Series X, surely anything that can be a portable PS5 would either be ludicrously expensive or have the same issues?
Do I want it? Yep yep, do I think it comes with potentially massive issues to overcome -definitely.
@riceNpea It's something they appear to be experimenting with at least: https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2024/11/rumour-next-gen-amd-tech-to-power-supposed-sony-handheld-as-well-as-ps6
Yes, but SMALLER. Switch and steam deck might be handheld but they're not very portable. I still play PSP and looking at a Vita for my actually portable gaming
@Medic_alert the problem with Series S is the console "parity", and sure they're being more flexible, but every Series X game still needs to run on Series S. With a handheld, you can be a lot more fussy on what games are or aren't developed for it.
I personally love my Steam Deck. That said PSP and Vita are some of my favourite hardware devices of all time. With the Steam Deck I like the versatility. I can play in the Deck or in a PC and the saves are automatically uploaded. In Sony's case the portable will be more expensive from the 399€ I paid for it and you still have to pay PS plus for the cross save. It clearly depends if you have an extensive library.
A new portable device may not go well with enthusiasts. They will claim the same stuff they say for Series S that the new games will be scaled down etc.
@get2sammyb if that were to happen, I'd expect some kind of symbiotic handheld/console device like the Switch.
Ah how we have shifted from handhelds are dead and the Switch will fail because it's underpowered to it being the third best selling system of all time with no additional media functionality or price cut, and PC manufacturers pumping handhelds out like bread from a bakery, to Xbox admitting they want in on it, all creating relatively capable but still not amazing specification machines.
I mean, yeah, of course they'll do it. They'd be stupid not to. This is the way gaming has always been heading. For decades the gap between handhelds and home devices was narrowing. First it was a portable NES alongside your SNES, then an SNES alongside your GameCube, an N64 and Wii, GameCube and Wii U, a PS2-ish and a PS3. SNES games ported to GBA, Wii games ported to 3DS. The line got narrowed and narrower.
Then look at phones. Same deal. We've gone from calls and texts with a Walkman in your pocket to all in one device.
You know I actually failed a university course where an assignment was to design the future of gaming, and I said it would be this exact thing. Switch, Steam deck, the whole lot. And they failed me because it was unrealistic.
Lmao.
No matter how Sony decides to do this, streaming or downloading the game and playing it natively, it will surely be the death knell of physical media. To paraphrase the beleaguered Ubisoft, Get ready not own your games.
The price, though. I can't imagine how much this thing would cost.
Nope, I do all my gaming at home. I’m ok having my consoles plugged into my tv. If the consoles themselves were more portable, that’s a different story
@Medic_alert Yes i agree, this doesn't sound cheap. I can see it falling anywhere around the $399 to €499 range. But fair, compared to similar devices. It will also depend on what Nintendo is going to ask for the Switch 2, as future handhelds will have to be competitively priced against it.
have a switch, will buy the successor. have a psp and a vita, would love to have a new PS handheld that at least could play PS4 games, if it could play ps5 games on a reduces resolution and/or details that would be a day one for me. but no streaming.
@Haruki_NLI You we’re ahead of your time bro, they couldn’t handle your brainpower 😉
Possibly but I think probably not tbh
I'm gonna get the new AYN Odin 2 Portal soon and will be using that as my all in one handheld that can likely just do far more than Sony can put together at this time
@LogicStrikesAgain TBF, this was 2014. Wii U was dead, 3DS wasnt hot, Vita was dead, mobile gaming ruled the roost.
Then again, this Uni also bet big on VR and had us use Vita dev kits and make games in Flash....that was already confirmed to no longer be supported so.....not entirely sure they knew what they were doing.
Not really. Most PlayStation games come to PC and most of the back catalogue is already on PC, it won't have exclusive games so what's the point.
Better off with the rog ally or or steam deck (I have both) and can play the likes of ragnarok or forbidden West just fine already.
Steam deck and rog ally are probably the 2 best gaming things I've brought since 360 days really (not including building a very good PC and moving to PC gaming mainly this gen)
Only if it is portable PS5 or PS6. While customers could be willing to invest in several platforms, the platform holders are not. I.e. they don’t want to make „small“ games for portables and „big“ games for consoles, just games which runs on all of their target platforms. That’s why Sony stopped supporting the Vita and Nintendo unified the development in one R&D unit.
And I don’t belive that Sony is willing to sacrifice its first level party games to get them running on weak mobile CPUs.
@Whately86 I haven’t handled a Portal, so honestly can’t answer that question! I just know that as I get older, the smaller the screen is, the less my eyes like it.
I am not the target audience for a portable, sadly. Twenty years ago, I would have LOVED a portable PlayStation. Heck, I loved my PSP, Vita, GBA, DS, 3DS, etc. it’s just that current late-40s me can’t do it as well.
@danzoEX tbf I don't see Sony support backwards compatibility like that and the beat way to play any games from this consoles is emulation although admittedly RPCS3 is difficult as the PS3 architecture is a mess
As I've been saying for a while now: Hybrid handheld with an (optional) egpu powered dock is the ps6... no inbetween gen, last gen, separate ecosystem etc. solution. Current library and ps6.

Steam Deck starts at £349 for the LCD model. What price do you think is reasonable for a higher-end handheld in 2024 and beyond? Because that seems more than fair to me.
the dealbreaker for me is size and functionality. i like the idea of having a portable console but it's not good if it doesn't fit comfortably in my pocket like psp, vita, ds etc. functionality is another big concern because id like to have a way to view/stream videos and listen to music without being tethered to a phone and constantly draining battery from that thing.
Yes if it had physical media
@tameshiyaku That sounds great on paper and you make it sound so simple, but it's not. A home console CPU is typically much more powerful than a handheld one which usually needs to run on around 15W of power and the configuration of a handheld device is quite different to a home console. You need a lot more than an eGPU otherwise the handheld nature WILL hold back the home console. Not easy to solve without getting very expensive.
It depends, if it is independent of the PS5/PS6 (different game library) then no, I do not want this. I do not have unlimited time or money to support two separate ecosystems. IMHO this a contributing factor for the lower adoption of the PSP and PSV.
If its like the the SteamDeck, in that its the same games as its big brother but with different performance profiles, absolutely. Day One.
@get2sammyb Since cross-buy was mentioned in the article and you mentioned the fact that you need to buy the game again on PC, I think it's a shame that Sony doesn't give players at least a cheaper pathway to get the PC version if you already have the PS5 version. I mean, it even shares the same trophy list... come on.
@SlipperyFish but I was talking about a seamless experience where you can move between your PS5 and the handheld.
I'm not sure I want a dedicated handheld console that ends up with portable games.
@thedevilsjester that's where I am too. Portability is a convenience thing not my preferred way to play.
@get2sammyb Sorry for replying twice. My concern (and what I meant by support) is that I imagine that they would have to optimize or patch some games to run well on the device. Even if hardware is getting more scalable, adjustments are always necessary. I think this would be a great idea and I would be personally very interested. But after seeing some hit or miss patches for the Pro, I would be cautiously optimistic if they released a device like that.
Yes make it so at least it can play ps1, ps2, and ps4 games natively, ps3 & ps5 with cloud, and have proprietary wifi (like wii u tablet) so you can play ps5 games with wifi but without internet in your home.
I would buy it day one, make it also dockable to play it on TV and you have a winner, although Sony may not want to do that as it may harm the main consoles sales.
I personally enjoy the handheld options that we have nowadays.
Back in time, when PSP came out, I wanted to have one. But it was just way out of my budget as a student with rent and living expenses. I preferred a pc over a console because I needed a device for studies and games at the same time.
Nowadays, almost everybody's needs can be covered. If you need a gaming handheld only, you are covered. You need a handheld pc: covered.
I would be curious if Sony designed one.
There's a lot of factors that would determine my interest in one. Price is an obvious one. As stated Steam Deck like machines are not cheap and I highly doubt it would be Sony to buck that trend.
I also just don't like how big and bulky portable systems are now. I miss the days when portable systems actually felt...you know...portable. I could fit my Vita/3DS in my jean pocket no problem. No way I'm doing that with a Deck or even the Switch. The games were were also developed with portability in mind and you just don't get that anymore unfortunately.
All that said the idea of it just tapping into my games on PSN is enticing. An instant huge library of games to pick from is pretty cool.
I don't know. I'd need to see more info before I'd go one way or the other. I'm not 100% on board but I'd still be at least interested in it.
@Medic_alert that's fair, I wouldn't really care for anything seamless. Would much prefer a dedicated handheld like PSP or Vita. In order to run games natively it will require games to be optimised for it anyway
@UltimateOtaku91 The PSP had 24-pin multi AV output port that could connect to a display. It wasn't as useful as the Switch "dock and go" or even the SteamDeck dock; but it did exist.
@Haruki_NLI Schools are always messed up and behind when it comes to tech. One of the reasons I changed my major from computer science to sociology was because my sister was learning the same useful stuff in 2nd grade I was learning in college. They were smart enough in 2nd grade not to waste their time with dead languages like COBOL and FORTRAN. 😂
This wouldn’t be for me, not a handheld gamer, but I’ve always thought Sony would make one again. B/c handheld has always been the future. Star Trek in the 1960s knew that. Not a separate ecosystem, nobody wants that, but running a 4k game at 1080p should be doable at a reasonable price. And I’m guessing current audio tech would cut down on overhead as well. If PSSR can do upscaling then there should be similar AI for downscaling. Throw in HDMI out and done, good enough for most of us for most games.
The Switch successor is pretty much the only new gaming machine it still makes sense for me to pursue in the visible future; a proper Vita successor would become a footnote to that claim. It doesn't even need to compete with anything - just roll out a legacy device embracing what can easily be at least four (PS1/PS2/PSP/PSV) or even five/six pastgen libraries, give it a proper Remote Play with adjustable/adaptive stream resolutions for Gen 9/10 stuff, throw in even just occasional new kids on the block like classic franchise revisits a la Ratchet & Clank and manageable indies developed under SIE patronage - and the result might well reprise PSP's sales or even reach PS4's. Vita itself wasn't even hampered by lack of first party support (what was there of the latter still includes some of the best games in entire PlayStation history) nearly as much as by proprietary storage prices, a stunt I don't expect even Sony to try and pull again. And of course, a hybrid format would also be Sony catching up with the times for once (especially since they already had some disjointed experience putting one's partial Vita library on TV screens via separate hardware), but their focus on living room boxes doesn't leave me holding my breath for such a development - at best, we'd probably get some crossbuys like back in Gen 8.
@thedevilsjester Sega Nomad (basically portable Mega Drive in all but name and peripheral support) could be optionally connected to a TV a good decade before PSP, but nobody discusses it as a hybrid either. It really took Switch to properly conceptualize and embody the latter concept.
@get2sammyb yep I think you hit the nail on the head, Vita needed games made or ported from scratch, Steam Deck would inherit my 150+ games in my library, same with Switch being hybird, they found a model to make it feasible in modern times...so why not make one.
I laid this out in an article the other day, but this is what I think Sony should do for the PS6:
PS6 = standard console upgrade, all the new bells and whistles, etc.
PSMobile (for lack of a better name) = Switch/Steamdeck-like handheld with PS5-levels of power, but built for PS6 games; able to be docked to a TV as-is
PSMobile eGPU = an add-on/upsell dock with an eGPU that supercharges a docked PSMobile and brings it to (or near) standard PS6 levels of capability, with the power discrepancy - if any - between the PSM+eGPU and the PS6 akin to the difference between a PS5 and a PS5 Pro, respectively
This would let them fight competitors on multiple fronts and give consumers more options than ever before.
I personally wouldn't be interested in a portable Playstation Steam Deck like device, but I wouldn't protest the existence of one either. I like the idea of options for every player and their preferences.
My SteamDeck is already a portable Playstation...and Xbox...PS1, PS2, Genesis, Gameboy, GBC, GBA, NES, SNES, N64, GC, Wii, TGFX16...but uhhh ya...sure. Make something else pointless Sony.
Nah, love the steam deck but mostly in docked mode and mostly for emulation ( although pc gamers get a hell of a lot of games for free which is pretty sweet). It's perked up my interest in going full pc though especially with how console gaming's going these days... But no, a portable ps5 doesn't appeal and the portal seems to be stepping up in that regard if that's your thing
Personally I don't see that it makes any sense for the majority of people.
My Portal would always wipe the floor with a SteamDeck-esque handheld.
You can't fit a PS5 into that form factor. Power, heat, no, just no.
Most people play portables in their own home, sat on the sofa whilst their partner watches the TV, or in bed.
Better to release a Portal Pro with a HDR OLED, possibly with higher res or higher refresh.
A Steam Deck type PSP would actually make me a dedicated PlayStation fan again
I would absolutely play a portable PS5 that could natively play games even if they were at a lower resolution.
Yeah I mean I have a Vita, 3DS, Switch, RG35XX and as of yesterday a Steam Deck OLED, so sign me up!
I’ve always enjoyed handhelds, the vast majority of the time sat on the sofa or in bed, although I hammered my Vita back when I had 2 hours of commuting a day on the tube.
nope , i play games at home . i used to like handhelds as a kid , but couldn’t care less about them anymore.
I don't see the point with Sony's games all going to PC anyway. I'll just grab the Switch 2 and Steam Deck 2 and have access to nearly every game ever made.
@kyleforrester87 How you liking the Steam Deck OLED? Isn't it awesome? I hardly play anything else anymore.
If you could play your playstation library on a handheld natively without streaming that would be awesome. As long as it doesn't burden developers having to do extra optimization or worse having to create new games specifically for the handheld. What would make it even better if somehow they could get it to play your steam games as well but I can't see that ever happening 😂
Oh god more than anything!!
@Ralizah yep, so far so good! Playing Half Life 2 and Beyond Galaxy Land. Any particular favourites?
It’s a cool idea in theory, but I don’t think Sony should try to handicap its leading edge console to support a handheld… look at the Xbox series X vs S debate.
I'd definitely be interested for the right price. If it's too expensive then it's not worth getting over a Steam Deck or similar, but if they go the cheaper route it likely wouldn't be able to run the same games as whatever console they're on by then. It's a balance, but I will say I've played my Portal a lot more than I'd expected to, especially with a family sharing the main TV, so any way to make that more versatile and not so reliant on an internet connection would be appreciated.
@riceNpea what he means is a portable PS5
@Xbox_Dashboard because you have a steam deck, a new PSP is pointless? Lol
