Sony rumored to be developing a new handheld gaming console, potentially reviving the PlayStation Portable and Vita legacy. Bloomberg reports suggest early development is underway, aiming to compete with Nintendo's Switch.
While the source cites individuals "familiar with the matter," the report remains tentative. Sony's decision to release the console is far from certain, and the project could be scrapped.
The mobile gaming landscape has shifted significantly since the PS Vita's era. Smartphones' dominance, coupled with the withdrawal of many competitors, led Sony to abandon the portable market. However, recent trends indicate a potential resurgence.
The success of the Nintendo Switch, alongside the Steam Deck and other handheld devices, demonstrates a renewed interest in dedicated portable gaming. Moreover, the improved capabilities of modern mobile devices might finally create a market viable enough to attract Sony back.
This potential re-entry isn't guaranteed, but the current climate presents a compelling case for a dedicated handheld console. For now, mobile gamers can enjoy the many excellent titles available on smartphones in 2024. Check out our list of the best mobile games of 2024 (so far)!
