Sony is reportedly developing a new handheld console that supports PlayStation 5 games and aims to rival the Nintendo Switch.
It has been revealed that Sony has developed a new handheld console that can play PlayStation 5 games on the go. According to Bloomberg, this device is still in development and may take several years to be fully released. With this move, Sony aims to compete in the portable gaming market with devices such as Nintendo Switch and possible portable Xbox.
Sony’s New Handheld Console Plans
Sony’s current portable solution, PlayStation Portal, streams PS5 games over Wi-Fi. However, the new handheld console is expected to be a standalone device that runs PS5 games directly with native game support. This development is considered as part of Sony’s efforts to gain a stronger position in the portable gaming market.
Nintendo Switch has established a significant dominance in the portable gaming market, and Sony’s new move towards this field attracts great attention. Additionally, rumors that Microsoft is working on a portable Xbox device make this competition even more interesting. Sony’s new handheld console aims to offer innovations that will attract the attention of players in this competitive environment.
Although it is stated that the development process of the device is at an early stage, this step aroused great curiosity among players. In particular, the fact that the powerful game library of PS5 can be played on the go thanks to this new handheld console can be a great advantage for gamers. With this new move, Sony is expected to redefine the portable gaming experience. However, no official statement has been made yet about the features and release date of the device.
