Sony unveils Project Q, a handheld console that redefines portability

One of the main questions surrounding Project Q is its target audience. Unlike the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch, Project Q does not play games natively but relies on PS5’s Remote Play feature. Additionally, there is no information regarding cloud streaming support or whether the device will require the PS5 to be powered on for Remote Play functionality.

As more details emerge in the coming months, it remains to be seen whether Project Q will be a compelling handheld gaming solution. Questions about pricing, battery life, and compatibility with PS Plus’s Classics Catalog still need to be addressed. While there is potential for Project Q to offer a unique gaming experience, it may not be the triumphant return to form for Sony’s handheld devices that fans had hoped for.
