Sony has announced a new handheld game streaming device, known only as Project Q. Rather than being a competitor to the Nintendo Switch, as many had hoped, this is closer to the Razer Edge.
The Project Q handheld cannot simply stream games from PS Now; games need to be installed on a separate PS5, which is connected to the handheld device over Wi-Fi. Design-wise, Sony has
basically inserted an 8-inch screen between a split DualSense controller. > Take a sneak peek at new accessories revealed at today’s Showcase > — the Project Q device for playing games

up to 1080p & 60fps. A line of small print that says the device requires broadband internet Wi-Fi with “at least 5Mbps for use”, adding “for a better play experience, a high-speed
connection of at least 15Mbps is recommended” has potential users concerned about glitchy gameplay. All will be revealed when the handheld launches later this year.
