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.

Here’s how he described the handheld’s scenarios, and demographics: it’s for gamers who want to play games on the couch, but the person they’re with is watching TV, as well as gamers who want to play games in their room. “However, it can also be used outdoors as long as the network signal is strong enough.”

Speaking about Access, an accessibility controller designed for people with disabilities, Eric Lempel said the product is designed to be comfortable for people with disabilities to use without having to make secondary adjustments to the way it operates, and also has “unique” customization features. The accessible controller has been available for pre-order since July, and will be available worldwide on December 6th.

PlayStation Portal streaming handheld has been unveiled in late August, its price is 29,980 yen, the specific sale time is to be determined.
