Project Q Mystery Solved: Sony’s $199 Handheld Console Is Officially Called PlayStation Portal

The ongoing console hardware rivalry is only expected to get more intense. While the other two of the industry giants Microsoft, Nintendo, and SteamDeck are making the case for their dominance, Sony has no plans to fall behind. Following the speculations around the much-talked-about Project Q, we finally have an official introduction to the PlayStation Portal. 

The alleged PlayStation hardware has been making the headlines for a while now. Previously addressed as Project Q, PlayStation Portal comes as a new chapter in the all-new visioned Sony hardware lineup along with the PlayStation Slim and Pro versions. The all-new handheld console has been officially unveiled with some promising features. Here’s why this might turn out to be a major game-changer for Sony. 

PlayStation Portal Remote Handheld Console! 

Today, the Sony console giant has given updates on three of its highly anticipated hardware. These include the PlayStation Portal remote player, the PlayStation Pulse Explore wireless earbuds, and the newly revealed PlayStation Pulse Elite wireless headset. But the highlight of all three is the infringing handheld gaming console PlayStation Portal. This newly visioned hardware will provide an all-new way for the players to access the PS5 library remotely. 

To provide the authentic DualSense controller experience, the PlayStation Portal remote player makes no compromises. Everything felt familiar, from the sticks’ gripping texture to the triggers’ throw. The gadget features a big 8-inch LCD 1080p screen that runs at 60 Hz for up to 60 frames per second gaming. Hit PS5 titles including Astro Boy’s Playroom, God of War Ragnarök, and Returnal seemed incredibly clear on the screen during my hands-on experience.
