Talking about the portable PlayStation is undoubtedly reminiscent of another time. The times when smartphones had not yet entered our lives with such force, and in which we took pictures with a camera, we had a GPS to navigate in unknown places, an mp3 player to listen to music and of course , To be able to play anywhere, we turned to portable consoles. The advent of smartphones has completely put an end to the life of all these devices. Or not?

Well, the truth is, no. Although the sector seemed to have practically given up, the only options were the Nintendo Switch and some “special” console models, Suddenly, Valve surprised us all in the summer of 2021 by announcing their Steam Deck. As you already know, this console not only marked the absolute success of the company, but also brought life back to the world of portable consoles, in which today we find more devices and from time to time we learn about a new one manufacturer that also decided to make a leap.

In this context, We have been waiting quite a long time for an “answer” from Sony, a new portable console, and when rumors of a PlayStation Vita 2 surfaced last April, many people got their hopes up. Some expectations that of course went to waste when it was confirmed that Sony’s proposal was PlayStation Portal. It was a difficult move to understand at the time, and frankly, it still is today.

However, it seems that they have now decided to go in a logical direction and as we can read in WCCFtech, Sony is already developing a portable PlayStation with which to face the growing and very active market of consoles of this type. The development would still be, yes, at a fairly early stage, so we’ll have to wait a while (we’re talking years rather than months) for it to hit the market (unless the project is canceled, of course) .

The most important information (along with the existence of the project, of course) is that Sony is working with AMD to design its own APU for this consoleand the intention is for the device to be compatible with all PlayStation 4 titles available on the PS Store, as well as some PS5 titles. This is undoubtedly Sony’s answer to all the manufacturers who have already shown that it is possible to bring PC titles to a laptop (Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally, etc.) and to the interest shown by users. possibility..

Two years (or maybe more) is still a long time to start speculating about Sony’s specific plans, although it’s more than likely they’re already working on it. However, it doesn’t seem unreasonable to think that their plans include bringing this portable PlayStation to market. virtually simultaneously with the launch of the PlayStation 6 and of course, some type of connection is also made between the two devices, such as the creation of an independent video game console and controller such as Portal, next generation.
