According to a report from Bloomberg, Sony is said to be in the early stages of a portable handheld console that will contend against the Nintendo Switch.
Sony – Handheld Console
The console is said to allow you to play PlayStation 5 games on-the-go and builds on the PlayStation Portal. The Portal, as a reminder, is an 8-inch portable console that lets you stream your PlayStation 5 games over the internet. Initially, it was meant to work as a standalone device like the Steam Deck.
It looks like the upcoming device will instead fill that void and work as a standalone device while giving you access to your PlayStation 5 games.
Sony hasn’t commented on this report and it is said that it is likely that the console is a couple of years away from launch if it will launch.
If it is offered though, it will make the company’s games much more accessible to a wider audience as it will allow you to play them on the go as well.
With Nintendo confirming a Switch successor and gaming handheld PCs like the ROG Ally, ROG Ally X, Lenovo Legion Go, and MSI Claw on the rise, a Sony variant would definitely make things more exciting.
Ram found his love and appreciation for writing in 2015 having started in the gaming and esports sphere for GG Network. He would then transition to focus more on the world of tech which has also began his journey into learning more about this world. That said though, he still has the mentality of "as long as it works" for his personal gadgets.
