Sony Rumoured To Have New PlayStation Handheld in Development

It’s been rumoured that Sony is currently working on a new PlayStation Handheld device. However, do take this with a grain of salt as there is no official announcement.

According to a report by Insider Gaming, this new device is called the Q-Lite. It is said that the Q-Lite will differ from previous handhelds such as the PSP and PSVita, as it will focus primarily on Remote Play for PlayStation 5 consoles. Which lets you control your PlayStation console remotely, provided if you have a high-speed internet connection.

Q-Lite is rumoured to feature adaptive streaming of up to 1080p resolution and 60FPS. However, it’s said that this new device will constantly require an active internet connection to function. Prototypes of this device will resemble a PlayStation 5 controller, but will sport an 8″ LCD touchscreen in the centre.

This device will also come with the iconic PS5 adaptive triggers for haptic feedback; along with various other features such as an audio jack input, and volume buttons.

Insider Gaming mentions that “the Q Lite is in its QA phase and is scheduled to release before the PlayStation 5 Pro and after the Detachable Disc Drive PS5“.

Once again, it’s good to take this information as a rumour until proven otherwise, and wait for an official announcement.
