Sony plans to release the Project Q handset for remote playback on PlayStation 5 consoles. The new Sony Q handheld, which will have an 8-inch screen, will make it easier to play PS5 games wirelessly. Sony also announced the PlayStation Bluetooth headphones.

The official announcement of Project Q was made during the PlayStation Showcase event this week. Sony says it will release a special device that will allow users to stream any game from their PS5 console using Remote Play over Wi-Fi. In addition to the 8-inch HD display, Project Q has all the buttons of the PlayStation DualSense wireless controller. It will be able to run games at 60 frames per second and a maximum resolution of 1080p.

Sony Project Q will feature adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, both with DualSense wireless controller. All games playable on the Q handheld must be installed on the PlayStation 5 console, so the Q handheld is considered a companion to the PS5 and cannot work independently. Project Q is not like the Steam Deck or your mobile phone. While it’s a bummer to limit the Q handheld to games installed on the PS5, Sony could expand the device’s ability to stream games from its cloud service.

Sony Q is a portable device compatible with PlayStation 5

Sony Project Q PDA will be released later this year. At launch, Sony will provide the necessary optics and highlight the gray areas on the new device. Sony will also take into account the competition in the gaming segment to achieve an affordable price regime for the Q PDA.
