Sony plans to release the Project Q portable handheld for remote gameplay on PlayStation 5 consoles. The new Sony Q handheld will come with an 8-inch display and it will make it easier to play your PS5 games wirelessly. Sony also announced the PlayStation Bluetooth earbuds.

The Project Q official announcement was made during the PlayStation Showcase event this week. Sony says it will launch the dedicated device which enables users to stream any game from their PS5 console using Remote Play via Wi-Fi. Apart from its 8-inch HD screen, the Project Q has all of the buttons of the PlayStation DualSense wireless controller. It will be capable of running games with a maximum resolution of 1080p and 60fps.

The Sony Project Q will come with adaptive triggers and haptic feedback – both present with the DualSense wireless controller. All games that you can play on the Q handheld must be installed on a PlayStation 5 console. The Q handheld is therefore seen as a companion to the PS5 and cannot operate independently. Project Q is unlike the Steam Deck or your mobile phone. While it could be underwhelming to limit the Q handheld to PS5-installed games, Sony could expand the capability of the device to stream games from its Cloud service.

Sony Q handheld is a portable device compatible with the PlayStation 5

The Sony Project Q handheld will enter the market later this year. By the time of its release, Sony would have provided the needed optics and illuminated the grey areas on the new device. Sony will also factor in competition in the gaming segment in arriving at a decent price regime for the Q handheld.
