Stand-Alone PlayStation Handheld Rumor Corroborated by Another Insider

Every day, it seems we are getting closer to actually getting another PlayStation handheld console. The latest update regarding the console corroborates previous rumors of its existence, as well as its launch window.

Full-fledged PlayStation handheld reportedly releasing around PS6 launch

On NeoGAF, insider HeisenbergFX4 claims a “full blown” PlayStation handheld is in the works. They do iterate that this would not fall within the PlayStation Portal pricing, which is currently $200, and will launch “somewhere around” the PlayStation 6 launch.

Last month, leaker KeplerL2 confirmed the existence of the PlayStation handheld. They claimed that it would not be as powerful as a PS5, but would be backwards compatible with the console at launch, which they confirmed would be part of the PS6 family.

Although it seems like all the clues are pointing to PlayStation making a new handheld, take these rumors with a grain of salt. Sony has not formally revealed a handheld just yet. The industry changes on a dime, so what might be real right now may not be real in the next few days. We’ll just have to wait and see.

While Sony has yet to reveal a new PlayStation handheld console, they have stated that they do intend to focus on peripherals like the PlayStation Portal in its Corporate Strategy & Earnings Announcement Presentation.

“We also plan to focus on strong and profitable peripherals such as PlayStation Portal where our recently introduced beta cloud streaming feature allows users to enjoy their games on the go more easily,” reads Sony’s statement.

This could be taken in several ways. This could mean Sony plans to iterate on its successful game streaming handheld device. This could hint at the rumored PS6 handheld. This could mean both. Regardless, Sony is putting a focus on peripherals like these handheld devices, which is a nice update for PlayStation fans.
