Sony has updated the PlayStation Portal, adding more internal storage but keeping the same (LCD) screen. This new variant is aimed at people who want just a bit more breathing room on their system files, without getting a bump up in the screen. The same 8-inch 1080p LCD screen and 60 fps game streaming limitations are present. Still has the same adaptive triggers, haptic, 3D audio support, etc.
Sony updates the handheld with extra storage but keeps the same LCD screen
It's still using the same mid-range Qualcomm system-on-chip hardware. Sony has rebranded the device, cutting the name down from PlayStation Portal Remote Player to PlayStation Portal Player. It's not clear what Sony intends to do with the additional storage. Sony isn't saying that we won't see an OLED model at a later time.
- Screen: 8-inch, 1080p LCD
- Refresh Rate: up to 60 fps
- Features: adaptive triggers, haptic feedback, 3D audio
- Chipset: mid-range Qualcomm SoC
- Connectivity: PS5 Remote Play, cloud streaming
Still focusing on remote play and cloud streaming via PlayStation Plus Premium. New preorders start on November 13, 2026. The hardware is due for launch in Japan/South Korea on December 10, 2026. Price is 39,980 JPY ($253, approx) in Japan. 378,000 KRW ($279, approx) in South Korea.
Includes one month of PlayStation Plus Premium to use the streaming features. We covered the previous PlayStation Portal update. The same themes of balancing and stability were recurring.
Sony does state that this launch is exclusive to those two regions for now. If you're not in those regions, you'll have to stay tuned for other announcements.
