PlayStation Portal handheld for remote play launches this year

PlayStation announced today that it’s launching its Remote Play handheld device, the PlayStation Portal, later this year for $200. It also announced more details for its PlayStation-branded wireless earbuds, called Pulse Explore and also revealed a new headset called Pulse Elite. The two audio devices use new technology called PlayStation Link to deliver low-latency lossless audio from both the PlayStation Portal and the PlayStation 5 itself.

The company first revealed the handheld during a show earlier this year. Called “Project Q” at the time, all Sony revealed was that it was a handheld device that supported PS5 remote play with an LCD screen. The new reveal has reaffirmed this, with the device featuring an 8-inch screen between two grips shaped like halves of a DualSense controller.
