Last month, rumors emerged that Sony was working on a new handheld device designed specifically to take advantage of the PlayStation’s Remote Play capabilities. It seemed like an odd rumor, as Sony hasn’t really hyped Remote Play much recently and it's hard to see how such a narrowly focused device would be competitive with the likes of the Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and other portable gaming options.

The new portable is essentially a split PS5 DualSense controller with an 8-inch screen nestled inside. Sony promises Project Q will offer the complete suite of DualSense features and full 1080p resolution for its screen. You can scope out Project Q, below.
“Project Q is a dedicated device launching later this year that enables you to play any compatible game installed on your PS5 console using Remote Play over Wi-Fi. With a vibrant 8-inch LCD screen capable of up to 1080p resolution at 60fps, the device delivers crisp visuals and smooth gameplay streamed from your PS5 when you’re away from your TV. All of the buttons and features of the DualSense wireless controller, including adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, are featured on the device.”
