Digital Foundry has backed up recent claims that Sony is working on a new PlayStation handheld.
Last month, Bloomberg reported thatSonyis developing a portable console capable of playingPS5games.
Itclaimedthat the company wasin the “early stages” of creating the device, which is still years away from a potential release.
In a video published on Monday,Digital Foundrysaid it could corroborate some of Bloomberg’s reporting.
“What’s interesting about this is we actually heard about this handheld some months ago from a couple of sources specifically,” said senior staff writer John Linneman. “So, we’re not in the business of leaking things, but it’s interesting that this finally sort of started to make its rounds because it just sort of confirmed what we had seen and heard off the record about this existing, which is cool.
“So, to me this sort of just strengthens the notion that yeah, they’re very much working on something. And this article makes it seem like it’s even further out than I actually thought based on that, so I’m not sure where it’s going, I think there’s like prototype stuff out there possibly. There’s still a lot of questions for this, but it does feel like this future of offering a handheld and a home console option is very likely at this point.”
