The PlayStation Project Q is a handheld device that is capable of streaming PS5 games over the internet using remote play so you can play your installed game library anywhere within your own home.

You can only use a Project Q handheld if you own a PS5, and any game you play on the handheld streaming device needs to be installed on your home console first. You cannot install and play games directly onto the Project Q — it is a remote play streaming device only.

This isn’t a cloud-streaming device in the traditional sense. On Project Q, you will be able to play your installed PS5 games within your home, over the same Wi-Fi network. It must be connected over the same network in order to work. You can’t, for example, take your Project Q on your commute to play some God of War Ragnarök on the go.

In terms of specs, the Project Q has an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen with a 60Hz
