With no name or release date, the possible price and battery of the portable device would already be causing debate among gamers.

If there are those who thought that a revision of PS5 was possible at the PlayStation Showcase 2023, the surprise revelation of the event was Project Q, the new device dedicated to portable gaming that Sony is preparing for its launch this year. However, it will be a streaming device through Remote Play that will require having the games installed on PS5, so it also requires internet to play at all times. Now, we have known the estimated battery of the device.
If yesterday it was the rumored price of Project Q, today Tom Henderson from Insider Gaming anticipates that he understands that the duration of the device will be around 3-4 hoursthat is, a short battery life like that of the DualSense, something that would already be disappointing gamers.
It should be remembered that the goal of Project Q would be to enjoy PS5 games away from the TV, although running short of battery would require being connected to the current to be able to play. With a 3-4 hour battery life, it would force gamers to keep an eye on their battery percentage in order to enjoy continuous gaming sessions.
Project Q, with games at 1080p and 60 fps
Among the rest of the details of Project Q, it stands out that the device will have a Vibrant 8-inch LCD screen capable of delivering up to 1080p resolution at 60 frames per second. In this way, the device will offer sharp images and smooth gameplay without the need to have the PS5 with the TV on. In addition, all buttons and features of the DualSenseincluding adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, will be present on the device.
To this day, the final name, as well as the release date, of the new PlayStation portable device is unknown, which seems to be committed to trying to be competitive in the market and get away from the situation of PlayStation VR2, which has a price even higher than that of PS5 and could be making it difficult for its sales to take off.
