Leakers Point to PlayStation Portal OLED Refresh in 2026

The rumored upgrade reflects the device’s stronger sales following added cloud streaming support.

Overview

  • Hardware insider KeplerL2 said on NeoGAF that an OLED version is planned for this year, with no official confirmation from Sony.
  • Tech leaker Zuby_Tech has hinted at a 1080p OLED panel with a possible 120Hz refresh rate, details that remain unverified.
  • Industry data cited by analyst Mat Piscatella indicates roughly a 7% attachment rate among U.S. PS5 owners, supporting the case for a refresh.
  • Sony expanded the Portal’s utility in late 2025 by enabling cloud streaming of select PS5 titles, which coverage links to its recent momentum.
