Sony’s making a new handheld to stream PS5 games

Sony announced a new streaming device for the PlayStation 5 during the PlayStation Showcase on Wednesday.

Titled Project Q, players can stream their PlayStation library to a smaller screen in a portable way over a shared Wi-Fi network. Games must already be installed on the linked PlayStation 5. PlayStation VR 2 games will not work with the device. Project Q features a Nintendo Switch-like (or Steam Deck-like, if that’s your preference) eight-inch screen, flanked by PlayStation controller halves that have all the buttons and functions of a regular PlayStation 5 controller.

In addition to Project Q, Sony has also announced specialized PlayStation 5 earbuds, which will bring “next-generation audio immersion” and lossless audio to playing PS5 and PC games.

Sony called the unveiling of both accessories a “taster”. More information about Project Q and the official PlayStation earbuds will be revealed at a later date.
