There have been leaks alleging that it runs (or can run) Android, although those have not been confirmed.
I don’t see that the hardware has been confirmed, but… Do they even still make new processors that wouldn’t be able to handle PPSSPP? Maybe not God of War, and maybe not upscaled fully. This isn’t like your typical cheap Chinese handheld using 6 year old processors that were designed to be budget at the time: this is going to be a modern chip, albeit not a super powerful one.
Basically if it runs Android id expect it to be similar to the GCloud.
I already use Chiaki on my Deck to play my PS4/PS5.
Sometimes my wife is using the TV for something else. Sometimes I want to be out on the porch, or in bed. Sometimes I just don’t want to put my glasses on.
This thing has a better screen and, for PS5 in particular, better controller features than the Deck.
It’s a bit pricey, but not as bad as I was expecting. If it goes on sale I’ll be tempted to grab it.
Weird that PlayStation named their device the Portal and valve didn’t though lol.
The article doesn’t seem to mention what OS this has, but if the earlier leaks are correct and it’s android, you could even use this to do that very same Xbox streaming.
