Sony is reportedly working on a handheld game console that will let you play PlayStation 5 games away from your TV.
This is according to information published by Insider Gaming. It says the handheld, codenamed Q Lite, is currently in testing and will be released before the rumoured PlayStation 5 Pro, due towards the end of 2024, according to this leaker.
This Is A Total Game-changer, don’t expect a straight Sony equivalent to a Nintendo Switch, though. These early reports say it will rely on Remote Play, meaning a PS5 will run the game, and send the video feed to the handheld over a wireless connection.
Remote Play is already available for phones, tablets, laptops, and some TVs.
The Sony Q Lite is expected to have Adaptive Triggers just like the PS5’s DualSense controller, to recreate the experience you’d have playing games on your TV. It is also expected to have an eight-inch screen.
