One of the most anticipated announcements for PlayStation users could become a reality in the future, as recent rumors suggest that PlayStation is taking the first steps to develop a portable console that would be something like the PS Vita 2 , only that 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 YouTuber Moore's Law is Dead claims , known for his hardware leaks, and who has now come forward with information related to the development of a new handheld console bearing the PlayStation brand.
PS Vita 2, is that you?
The information in question refers to an agreement between PlayStation and AMD whereby the chip manufacturer would be preparing a custom processor with 18 Cus, capable of natively running PS4 games and PS5 games as long as the latter have received a specific adaptation patch 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
It appears AMD is only in the high-level design phase, which typically requires at least two years of development , so don't expect an announcement anytime soon. Everything suggests this Vita 2 could be part of the future PS6 family, which 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.
