· Author: David MatoušekStreaming device for PlayStation
In 2023, Sony released a streaming device called PlayStation Portal to the market, which allowed players to play PlayStation 5 games anywhere in the home. Unfortunately, until last year, the device did not support cloud gaming, so its sales were not as high as expected. Now, however, reports are emerging that an OLED version of this device should be released later this year. But what do we know about it?
Alleged speculations
The claims about the PlayStation Portal OLED model come from user KeplerL2 on NeoGAF. In a thread, Kepler first mentioned that the PS Handheld will be built on the RDNA5 architecture before addressing the Portal. He later stated that the original Portal model "seems to be successful" and Sony is working on "another version coming this year." When asked which version he was talking about, Kepler replied: "OLED version".
Unfortunately, this information is speculative, and we must wait to see if Sony confirms these details. However, they seem realistic, given that current handhelds already feature OLED displays.
