In its heyday, I used the PlayStation Portable (PSP) obsessively, but I haven't been pulled in by other handheld devices — no, not even the Nintendo Switch. That could change in the future as Sony is reportedly developing a new portable console that would offer games directly on-device,

Sony could be following up the release of the PlayStation Portal with a new handheld PlayStation 5 console, according to a new report.

After watching Nintendo dominate the gaming landscape over the last eight years with a hybrid game console, Sony is getting ready to challenge the Switch with a new handheld console of its own. Bloomberg reports that Sony is in the early stages of developing a portable game console capable of playing PS5 games natively.

Sony is currently making a new handheld gaming console that allows users to play PlayStation 5 games anywhere. According to Bloomberg, the console is being developed to compete against Nintendo and Microsoft in the portable gaming market, and is likely “years away from launch” — if Sony decides to release it at all.

Move over, PlayStation Portal—a new Sony handheld is seemingly in the works. But could it compete with the Nintendo Switch or Valve's Steam Deck?

Sony is reportedly set to return to the handheld console market with a new portable PlayStation that plays PS5 games on the go.

Claims are pointing that Sony is currently developing a new portable console, capable of playing PlayStation 5 games.

For the first time since 2012, Sony is developing a legitimate handheld device for playing PlayStation games, Bloomberg reports.

It’s said that the device builds on the PlayStation Portal, which was originally designed as something akin to this before moving to streaming.
