Sony reveals Project Q PS5 handheld – and it's the biggest fumble of the year

Despite the poor reception of other recently released cloud-based handheld gaming devices, Sony will soon release it's own PS5 handheld called 'Project Q'.

During the May 2023 PlayStation Showcase event, Sony revealed its brand new PS5 handheld gaming device, internally named 'Project Q', confirming the strong recent rumours about the company's plans to dip into the portable gaming market once again. It hasn't disclosed too many details surrounding the new PlayStation console, but from what we know so far, I can't help but feel utterly disappointed.

All we know about Project Q so far is that the device will be launched later this year, and that it will allow you to stream games from your PS5 console using remote play over Wi-Fi. The announcement teaser specified that games have to be installed on your PS5 console, and that VR games are excluded. So don't get it twisted, this is a cloud gaming device, not a dedicated handheld.
