Sony PlayStation senior vice president Eric Lempel recently accepted a BBC interview and talked about the upcoming launch of a series of hardware devices, including handheld gaming devices PlayStation Portal and Access accessible controller for disabled players.
Although the PlayStation Portal looks like handhelds such as the Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck, both of which consist of a joystick and a screen, Eric Lempel said that the PlayStation Portal is not a competitor to either of those products because players must own a PlayStation 5 console in order to use it, according to the report. console to use it, the handheld’s function is to stream PS5 content.
It's a completely different scenario, and in fact, it's a 'one-of-a-kind' product customized for PlayStation users.Meanwhile, Eric Lempel also confirmed to the BBC that gamers won’t be able to stream titles from PlayStation’s cloud gaming service directly to the device.
