PlayStation is launching a NEW handheld device: Teaser video gives first glimpse at ‘Project Q’

It’s been over two years since the launch of the PlayStation 5, and now Sony has teased its next piece of hardware.

The gaming giant has given fans a first glimpse of a new handheld device dubbed ‘Project Q’.

The device is designed to “play games installed on your PS5 and streamed over Wi-Fi,” PlayStation explained in the description of a teaser video posted to YouTube.

Best of all, it won’t be long before you can get your hands on it.

Sony has confirmed that the Project Q device will launch ‘later this year’.

Project Q [is] a dedicated device launching later this year that will allow you to play any compatible game installed on your PS5 console using Remote Play over Wi-Fi,” Sony explained

The new device was announced last night in a blog.

Project Q [is] a dedicated device launching later this year that will allow you to play any compatible game installed on your PS5 console using Remote Play over Wi-Fi,” Sony explained.

Featuring a vibrant 8-inch LCD screen with a resolution of up to 1080p at 60fps, the device delivers crisp visuals and smooth gameplay streaming from your PS5 when you’re away from your TV.

“All the buttons and functions of the DualSense wireless controller, including adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, are present on the device.”

Project Q isn’t the only new device being teased by Sony – the tech giant also gave a glimpse of its first-ever official wireless earphones.

The earbuds will launch later this year and feature new wireless technology developed by [Sony]and delivers lossless audio with low latency for a high-quality audio experience.

While further details on both new devices – including launch date and price – are yet to be confirmed, many fans are already buzzing with anticipation.

Those earplugs look pretty slick. Hopefully it won’t cost a fortune,” one user responded to the YouTube video.

“The handheld made my jaw drop,” another added, with one writing, “The console is LIT!”

Not everyone was so impressed, however, with many complaining that Project Q feels like a “step backwards” from the PS Vita – a portable console that launched in 2011.

“The Q better be $150 max, anything higher than that and it will be absolutely impossible to sell,” one skeptic wrote.

“Come on Sony, I understand it must be hard to want to try handhelds again after the Vita, but PlayStation is in a much better place in the post-PS4 era.”
