According to the latest report from Bloomberg, Sony is working on a full-fledged portable PlayStation that will allow gamers to enjoy PS5 games on the go with a handheld. The device is meant to help Sony reach new gamers. As we can see with the Switch, the world’s third best-selling console, handhelds are still in demand. Nintendo has hit the bull’s eye, and Microsoft is also set to respond to its popularity. Its Xbox division is also preparing a portable console. Not to mention the successor to the Switch, which will go on sale next year.
Insiders connected with the PlayStation project say the handheld is in the very early stages of development. If all goes well and the project eventually comes to fruition, we won’t see it for a few years. Apparently, it will be a follow-up to PlayStation Portal. That saw the light of day in 2023 and was a disappointment for many gamers due to the fact that it doesn’t work natively. You have to be connected to the internet to play games on it. Originally, you needed a connection to your PS5. Now you can play games via the cloud. But gamers still want a full-featured handheld along the lines of the very popular and successful PSP.
