Sony has officially confirmed it\u2019s working on a PlayStation handheld to make it easier to play your PS5 games. It was announced during\u00a0Wednesday\u2019s PlayStation Showcase<\/a>\u00a0and is called Project Q.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe will launch a dedicated device that enables you to stream any game from your PS5 console using Remote Play over Wi-Fi,\u201d PlayStation boss Jim Ryan said during the PlayStation Showcase. \u201cInternally known as \u2018Project Q,\u2019 it has an 8-inch HD screen and all of the buttons and features of the DualSense wireless controller.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

ore specifically, it\u2019ll have an LCD screen running games at up to 1080p and 60fps over Wi-Fi, according to\u00a0a Sony press release<\/a>, and will feature both the\u00a0adaptive triggers<\/a>\u00a0and haptic feedback of the DualSense. The Q handheld is set to launch later this year, just like\u00a0the PlayStation Bluetooth earbuds<\/a>\u00a0announced Wednesday, though Sony didn\u2019t say exactly when or how much the new device might cost.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

According to the fine print at the bottom of Sony\u2019s presentation, games you play on the Q must be installed on a PlayStation 5 console itself \u2014 it\u2019s apparently designed as a companion for your own PS5, not something that would play games natively like a Steam Deck or phone or even stream them from the cloud.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

However, Sony is one of the foremost companies with a cloud gaming service,\u00a0one it currently seems to be overhauling based on the many job postings we dug up<\/a>, so it\u2019s possible that the Q adds cloud gaming at a later date. It would seem weird to omit services that make Sony more money.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Sony\u2019s brief tease didn\u2019t address whether you\u2019d be able to use the Q to stream games outside of your house: Sony\u2019s Remote Play does currently support connections over cellular, though you might need to tether it to a phone or hotspot since Sony has only mentioned Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
