Sony has tentative plans to re-enter the handheld market with a new portable console

Author : Christopher Update:Jan 04,2025

Sony reportedly plans a return to the handheld gaming console market, potentially challenging Nintendo's Switch. Bloomberg reports suggest an early-stage development project, though Sony hasn't confirmed market release.

Long-time gaming fans will recall the PlayStation Portable and Vita. The mobile gaming landscape has shifted significantly since the Vita's release; smartphone dominance led many companies to abandon the portable console market, except for Nintendo. However, recent successes like the Steam Deck and the ongoing popularity of the Switch, coupled with improved mobile device capabilities, may have swayed Sony's decision.

The resurgence of dedicated handheld gaming devices and the enhanced technical capabilities of modern mobile devices might convince Sony of a viable market for a new portable console. This potential re-entry reflects a changing market dynamic where dedicated handheld gaming experiences find renewed appeal.

For now, while the project remains unconfirmed, the possibility of a new PlayStation portable console adds an exciting element to the gaming world. Meanwhile, check out our list of the best mobile games of 2024 for great titles to enjoy on your smartphone.
