Rumour: New PlayStation Portable Capable of Playing PS5 Games at Lower Resolutions
The whole world in your hands

As you may have already heard, rumour has that Sony is working on two new pieces of hardware: the inevitable PS6 and a new portable platform capable of natively playing your PS5 library.
While the latter certainly sounds pie in the sky at first blush, it’s actually a story with credibility. Various well-connected individuals, including Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson and even Digital Foundry, have all mentioned they’ve heard similar things.
The nature of the device remains a little unclear, however.
But writing on forum NeoGAF, hardware snoopster KeplerL2 – who was among the first to mention the development of the handheld – said that the device is powerful enough to run PS5 games, just “not at the same resolution [or] framerate, mainly due to the lower memory bandwidth”.
Sony’s obviously had a lot of success with the PS Portal, which has seemingly emboldened its decision to make a new handheld.
