Sony Group Corp. is said to be in the early stages of developing a portable console that can play PlayStation 5 games on the go. This move is aimed at expanding Sony's presence in the market and competing with Nintendo in the portable gaming sector.

The new handheld device is also seen as a strategic response to potential mobile hardware developments from Microsoft, who is currently working on prototypes in this category. Although there is limited information available, sources suggest that Sony's portable console may take several years to be released, and the company has not ruled out the possibility of abandoning the project entirely.
