Sony’s anticipated handheld gaming accessory with screen will feature both adaptive triggers and haptic feedback of the DualSense while running on 1080p and 60fps over Wi-Fi. While the release date and price have not been disclosed by the brand, the launch might take place later this year.
From the looks of the Project Q handheld, you might need to install your preferred games on the PlayStation 5 console as it is crafted to be a companion for the PS5 and not necessarily a native cloud streaming on Steam Deck, Google Stadia or cell phone.
