Sony has been a dominant force in the handheld console market with its PSP and PS Vita, and it appears the company is looking to get back into making portable gaming hardware. A new report details the PlayStation Q Lite handheld device, which is still in its QA testing phase. The new handheld device is described as a DualSense PlayStation 5 controller with an 8-inch LCD screen in the center, but the catch is that it will only work with Sony’s PlayStation Remote Play.
The device will be able to stream PS5 games, but it won’t be able to play itself without an internet connection. There is no confirmation if it will be able to work with other cloud-based gaming platforms. Based on the information provided, Sony’s upcoming PlayStation handheld may be similar to the Nintendo Wii U GamePad which connects to the Wii U via a modified low latency Wi-Fi protocol and allows you to play games on a smaller screen as long as you are on the same network as the console.
Project Q Lite will feature adaptive triggers, speakers, volume buttons, and a 3.5mm audio jack. The screen will support 1080p resolution at 60fps. Sony is expected to launch its new portable device soon after the upcoming PS5 with a removable disk drive, expected this September and ahead of the announcement of the PlayStation 5 Pro which is expected to take place in late 2024.
