Playstation Showcase Recap

gamesreviews.com:

With E3 dead and gone at this point, we have been waiting for the big three to pull back the curtain and let us know what they have up their sleeves for the rest of 2023 and beyond. Last night Sony showcased over 30 titles and announcements giving players a roadmap of what is to come both exclusive to Sony and not.

On the hardware side of things, they showcased the new Project Q, which while isn’t a Vita comeback is more akin to a Wii U gamepad in theory. Details are incredibly sparse just now, but what we do know is that Project Q will have an eight-inch HD display, all the buttons of a regular DualSense controller, and will be able to play games installed on a PS5 over a WiFi connection. Although we don’t have a specific launch date or price, SIE CEO and President Jim Ryan did say during the Project Q reveal that the device will be coming “later this year”, which means sometime in 2023.

They also announce a pair of official PS5 earbuds. No price or release date have been announced as of yet, but one would imagine this would pair nicely with Project Q so I would expect them to launch at the same time. Touted as the first ever PlayStation earbuds and set to bring “next generation audio immersion to PS5 and PC”, the buds carry the signature swish of the PS5’s design language, with a crisp white outer chassis and a bulb design to fit into the inner ear. Housed in a slick charging case shaped in a pouch style, they’re certainly impressive to look at. There’s plenty of tech under the hood, though. With Jim Ryan stating that the buds will offer a low latency connection (2.4GHz to you and me) and lossless audio, the PS5 earbuds look set to keep up with the rest of the competition.

Onto a bunch of PSVR2 announcements:
