Project Q is the upcoming streaming only device that will allow you to play games installed on a PlayStation 5 remotely.
It has not been announced if the handheld will allow streaming of games from the cloud and is rumoured to cost between £250 - £300.
Will you be picking one up later this year?
Chiaki is the one they use and I think it works on Linux. Streaming (even locally) kind of sucks so I don’t use it, but I see it mentioned all the time.
I could see choosing this over the steam deck if it was like $100, but if it’s $300 I don’t see how you don’t get to $400 for the Steam Deck instead. You’ll probably want to add storage eventually, but even if you stuck to small indie/2D stuff that will fit in 64GB, that adds a huge amount of value.
It was recently on sale for $359 too and all models can have the storage upgraded, so I think the cheapest option is the best one to get and picking up a 512TB or 1TB drive to upgrade it.
In terms of cost effectiveness yeah. I don’t regret the 512 at all, though. Etched glass blows antiglare screen protectors out of the water.
2TB is getting real close to the price I could justify. I’m just tightening my belt for other bigger ticket stuff.
I’m expecting my next big ticket purchase to be Deckard if it ever comes out. That’ll be my entry into VR. I’m keeping eye an Deck compatible storage prices too. Hope storage keeps dropping.
