LogInIt is suggested prototypes might already be out.
Recently, Sony was reported to be working on a new handheld for PlayStation 5 games, and now, an industry insider from Digital Foundry has confirmed the information about the potential upcoming release.
The idea of the new device, intended to rival Nintendo Switch, is based on the 2023 PlayStation Portal, which allows players to run PS5 games by streaming them over the internet.
In a recent Direct Weekly, Digital Foundry's John Linneman commented on the release of the new Sony's device:
"What's interesting about this is we actually heard about this handheld some months ago from a couple of sources specifically," he said. "So, we're not in the business of leaking things, but it's interesting that this finally sort of started to make its rounds because it just sort of confirmed what we had seen and heard off the record about this existing, which is cool."
Linneman confirmed that the company is working on a new device and suggested that prototypes might already be out:
"So, to me, this sort of just strengthens the notion that yeah, they're very much working on something. And this article makes it seem like it's even further out than I actually thought based on that, so I'm not sure where it's going, I think there's like prototype stuff out there possibly. There's still a lot of questions for this, but it does feel like this future of offering a handheld and a home console option is very likely at this point."
There's not much detail yet, but it seems that Sony has some interesting news to share in the future.
