PlayStation’s Next Handheld Console is Reportedly in Development

According to a new report from Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson, a new PlayStation Handheld device codenamed the Q Lite, is currently in development. The handheld will reportedly be yet another device that requires owners to also have the PlayStation 5, and will function as a Remote Play handheld for the console. Additionally, the device will need constant connection to the internet, and will stream up to 1080p at 60FPS. Lastly, the device will reportedly look like a DualSense controller with an 8-inch LCD screen, buttons, an audio input jack, and adaptive triggers. Its release date is still unknown but will reportedly release before the rumored PlayStation 5 Pro.
