Sony Reportedly Developing New PlayStation Handheld with AMD
The device, potentially named 'Vita 2', is in early development stages and aims to support PS4 and some PS5 games.
- Sony is reportedly developing a new PlayStation handheld console, potentially named 'Vita 2', in collaboration with AMD.
- The device is in the high-level design phase, indicating it's at least two years away from completion and has not been officially greenlit for launch.
- The handheld aims to support digital PS4 games natively and may run some PS5 games with 'Pro-like patches', but won't have its own exclusive game suite.
- Rumors suggest the console could be a companion to the PlayStation 6, targeting the Japanese market with its portability.
- Despite skepticism due to the commercial performance of the PlayStation Vita, the success of other handhelds like the Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck indicates a market demand.
