More than 10 years after Sony’s last handheld console, there has been little mention of the Japanese company’s future in the field, other than rumors that have surfaced about the development of a gaming device streamingpurported reports appear detailing the laptop capable run games in native mode and even from PS5 with “professional patch».
This information comes from a report by a famous liquor store Moore’s Law is dead. He claims that Sony is developing a portable console with an AMD APU chip personalized. According to him, this project “is currently in high-level design“:
“It’s at least two years away, and technically it doesn’t have the green light to launch yet.”
Apparently, the alleged portable console that Sony is working on will allow you to play PS4 and PS5 games. That is, what would happen device with backward compatibilitysimilar to how the PSP runs PS1 games.
However, in the case of PS5 games, they will require “professional patch“. This suggests that it may be a adaptation in terms of performance and graphics quality so that they can run smoothly on a portable device.
It’s important to note that AMD is the company responsible for the chips that power the PlayStation desktop consoles, at least in the PS4 and PS5. Now, apparently, she is also responsible for this supposed portable device, thus becoming the first console of its type with a processor in this category.
Sony’s last handheld console had an ARM architecture chip, meaning it was a mid-range processor designed specifically for mobile devices. Despite this, it has been optimized for PlayStation Vita games.
It should be noted that this handheld console was compatible with the PS4 via Remote Play. However, one of its main problems was the lack of buttons compared to the DualShock 4. To make up for this “lack“, the touch screen of the device was used.
until now, Sony has not officially mentioned the development of this device. We will have to wait for a possible announcement from the company to confirm if it is indeed in development.
