The words PlayStation Vita 2 aren't something I thought I'd be typing in 2024, but reports of a new Sony handheld have surfaced. Unlike the PlayStation Portal, rumors point towards the new handheld using a custom AMD APU that could provide performance on par with the PS4, and some tricks might even enable to to run PS5 releases. However, it's needless to say you should take a hearty grain of salt with all of this news, not to mention that - if it is legit - it'll probably give more Steam Deck rival that Vita successor.
I've been mourning the PlayStation Vita since it was discontinued in 2009, and while it's not on our best gaming handheld list, it's still one of my favorite portables. Comparatively, the PlayStation Portal isn't really the successor I was looking for, especially since its remote play nature tethers it to your home. So, you can imagine my excitement upon seeing a reliable GPU leaker talking about a Vita successor, even if its current namesake is merely a rumor placeholder.
