One of the most anticipated news by PlayStation users could come true in the future, since some latest rumors suggest that PlayStation would be taking the first steps to develop a portable console that would be something like the PS Vita 2, only unlike the original Vita, this one would not have its own games, but would be able to run PS4 and PS5 games.
The PlayStation Steam Deck
It is obvious that Sony also has its share of the pie in this prolific new ultraportable market, and the manufacturer did quite well with the Vita. The problem is that since then there have been no more portable consoles, and although users have been asking for one for a long time, the most they have come to offer is the recent PlayStation Portal.
But everything could change in a couple of years. That's at least what the youtuber claims Moore's Law is Dead, known for its hardware leaks and which now comes to the fore with some information related to the development of a new portable console with the PlayStation seal.
PS Vita 2, is that you?
The information in question speaks of a agreement between PlayStation and AMD with which the chip manufacturer would be preparing a customized processor with 18 Cus, capable of natively run PS4 games and PS5 games as long as the latter have received a adaptation patch specific for the new console.
This patch in question would be something like the updates that were released back in the day to make the games compatible with PS4 Pro, only, instead of improving performance, this time it would be responsible for lowering the resolution, FPS and even the textures of PS5 games so that everything runs correctly on the new laptop.
Technically it seems to be a fairly impressive configuration, and it would serve to curb the public's constant interest in micro-PC consoles that are generating so much demand since the arrival of Steam Deck and its counterparts in stores.
Release date
Apparently AMD is only in the high-level design phase, something that normally requires as minimum 2 years of development, so don't expect to see an upcoming announcement. Everything indicates that this Vita 2 could be part of the future PS6 family, something that would make a lot of sense if we interpret it as an evolution of PlayStation Portal.
So at the moment we can't do much more than forget about the subject and wait patiently, since there are a couple of years ahead of us to have a clear image of what exactly we are going to see in our hands. Be that as it may, point out ways.
