Sony has officially confirmed that they are working on a portable console allowing you to play your PS5 games remotely.
After years of rumors, Sony has officially confirmed that they are working on a portable console that will make playing your PS5 games easier. She was announced during the PlayStation Showcase on Wednesday, she is baptized Project Q.
8 inches with DualSense controller functionality
” We will be launching a dedicated device that will allow you to stream any game from your PS5 console using Remote Play over Wi-Fi said PlayStation boss Jim Ryan during the PlayStation Showcase. ” Known internally as ‘Project Q’, it is equipped with an HD screen of 8 inch and all the controls and features of the DualSense wireless controller. “.
Dedicated to home cloud gaming
You will have understood that you will necessarily need a PS5 to play with this portable console, as well as a good connection. It’s streaming from home to your portable console, as is already possible on smartphones and tablets. Specifically, the Project Q will be equipped with an LCD capable of displaying games up to Full HD definition (1080p) and 60 fps. It will also have the adaptive triggers and haptic feedback of the DualSense.
For the end of the year 2023
The launch of the portable console Q is planned for the end of this yearalthough Sony has not specified exactly when or how much this new device could cost.
Difficult to speculate around the price of this future console, but it will not need a lot of power to operate. After all, a $200 Android smartphone runs Remote Play at 1080p without batting an eyelid. It is therefore not unrealistic to think that Sony could offer this new console at a similar price. Taking into account Sony’s usual positioning on the market and the integration of specific features of the DualSense controller, we could expect a price between 200 and 300 euros. Of course, these are mere assumptions and we will have to wait for Sony’s official announcement to know for sure.
In the meantime, if you want to try Remote Play to stream games from your PS5, you don’t have to wait for Sony’s portable console. Almost any iPhone, Android smartphone, Windows, or Mac can do this, and there’s even a Linux app you can launch on the Steam Deck called Chiaki.
