Sony is working on a portable console that supports PS5 games independently

Sony is studying developing a new portable console that will be able to move PlayStation 5 games independently; That is, without it being necessary to have the desktop machine to be able to use it. This is what he points outBloomberg‘, a medium that highlights that the Japanese brand would aim to use this ‘gadget’ to compete with brands like Nintendo and its Switch. However, at the moment it is not certain that the plan will come to fruition. If it finally crystallizes, we will have to wait years to be able to acquire the system.

It is not surprising that Sony is tempted to launch a portable machine. Nintendo has achieved magnificent results with its switcha machine of which at this point more than 146 million systems have already been marketed around the world. A wild one. Other machines with these characteristics, such as Valve’s Steam Deck, have also achieved great success in recent years. And it is known that Microsoft, the company behind Xbox, is working on its own.

With this move, Sony would seek not to drop out of the market. It is worth remembering that the company launched its PlayStation Portal just a year ago, a machine that allows the user to play the video games that the user has on their PS5 console using the cloud. The machine works perfectly. It is, by all accounts, an attractive system. But it still has an important must: it does not work independently, so the user must be close to the desktop machine to be able to use it.

The new device would solve this problem. The user could use it to play video games PlayStation 5 without having to have the after-dinner meal. This is something that, on paper, could help the number of users of PS services increase. It would be necessary to see if the laptop would be compatible only with digital titles (most likely) or would also have a version with a reader for physical titles.
