Adding fuel to the already passionately burning fire, DigitalFoundry has confirmed previous reports from Bloomberg that a PlayStation Handheld is in development.
Speaking on their podcast, the team at DigitalFoundry insinuated that they had also heard that the device was coming at some point.
Believed to be a successor to the PlayStation Vita, the device is in early development and is expected to release well after the PlayStation 5 generation.
You can hear what DigitalFoundry had to say at around the 3 minute mark on their podcast below.
The device is intended to focus on playing PlayStation 5 games natively on the go and is based on an earlier concept of the PlayStation Portal.
Sony hadn’t had a dedicated handheld in the market since 2019 when they discontinued the PlayStation Vita.
The news comes as other publishers, like Microsoft, are also expected to release a portable device of some kind, following Nintendo’s wild successes with the Switch and consumers’ desire to play their games anywhere.
