Rumour: New PlayStation Portable Capable of Playing PS5 Games at Lower Resolutions

As you may have already heard , rumour has that Sony is working on two new pieces of hardware: the inevitable PS6 and a new portable platform capable of natively playing your PS5 library . While the latter certainly sounds pie in the sky at first blush, it’s actually a story with credibility. Various well-connected individuals, including Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson and even Digital Foundry , have all mentioned they’ve heard similar things.

The nature of the device remains a little unclear, however. But writing on forum NeoGAF , hardware snoopster KeplerL2 – who was among the first to mention the development of the handheld – said that the device is powerful enough to run PS5 games, just “not at the same resolution [or] framerate, mainly due to the lower memory bandwidth”. Sony’s obviously had a lot of success with the PS Portal , which has seemingly emboldened its decision to make a new handheld.
