PlayStation Project Q was unveiled. What does the new console, which makes the games on PlayStation 5 portable, promise?
A series of new games were announced as part of the PlayStation Showcase 2023. However, in addition to the exciting games, Sony also shared the company’s hardware innovations. The long-rumored portable PlayStation console, Project Q, was finally announced. However, this device will not be the Steam Deck competitor that users are expecting.
PlayStation Project Q brings the PS5 console to your pocket
Sony has announced its new console that will enable portable playing of PS5 games. The new Project Q, which was unveiled at PlayStation Showcase 2023, consists of a screen and a control device similar to DualSense.
According to the company’s statement, the new device has an 8-inch HD screen. It will also have all the buttons and features of the PS5 DualSense wireless control device. However, it will not be a separate console like Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch. You will be able to project your games from PlayStation 5 to this device.
According to a statement made by PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan, Project Q will work with Remote Play over Wi-Fi. This means you can play any game on the PS5 on a portable device. Its 8-inch HD screen promises a broader experience than standard smartphones.
If you want to play a game on Project Q, you first have to install it on PlayStation 5. So it won’t have built-in storage like the Steam Deck, and it also won’t allow cloud-based play like Logitech G Cloud.
It is important to note that Sony has not made many comments about the console. But over time, we will see whether it will meet expectations since it requires PlayStation 5. The price is also uncertain at this time.
