What do we know about the Project Q by Sony?

However, it's worth noting that Project Q isn't designed as a cloud gaming device. It's a companion for your PS5 console. In order to play games, you need to buy and install the games on your PS5 first.

It isn't clear yet if Project Q is as portable as it sounds. Sony didn't confirm if you can stream games on the console outside your home. The company currently supports similar connections with Remote Play, so it's possible that Project Q could have this feature.

Sony's foray into the handheld gaming device space is a direct response to the growing popularity of these consoles. After the Nintendo Switch reigned atop the scene for years, Valve came out with the Steam Deck, which has since seen a possible rival such as the Asus ROG Ally. But, the Project Q isn't a direct competitor to these devices. The Project Q is more like the Logitech Cloud. However, we're hoping that it has a lower price point. This way, Project Q can carve out a niche and encourage Sony to pursue a more proper successor to the PlayStation Vita.

Sony promises to share more information about Project Q soon. Until then, you can start saving for the upcoming handheld console.

Speaking of Sony, the PlayStation Showcase was a success. Aside from Marvel's Spider-Man 2, the event also saw the debut of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater and the gameplay as well as the release date reveal of Assassin's Creed: Mirage.
