Portable gaming consoles have rapidly gained popularity in recent times. This rise, which began with the Steam Deck, has expanded further with devices like the ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go. In the face of this activity, remarkable developments are taking place on the Sony front. Having signaled a return to the mobile gaming market after the PS Vita, Sony had taken a cautious step with the PS Portal. Now, a much more powerful and ambitious device is on the agenda: the portable PlayStation 6.
WILL BE ABLE TO RUN PS5 GAMES DIRECTLY
According to the latest information, the portable PlayStation 6 will be able to run PS5 games directly. Moreover, developers will not need to adapt these games specifically for the device. However, it is noted that some games may require software patches to run more stably. This indicates that the device will offer compatibility at the shader binary level.
Looking at the hardware side, it has become clear that the portable model will not be as powerful as the standard PS6. According to the report, the custom AMD chip to be featured in the device will have fewer than 40 compute units and will be designed to operate at a lower voltage. This means that performance will fall behind the PS5. Nevertheless, it is stated that the device will be more powerful than the Xbox Series S.
