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?
Absolutely not. If it’s a streaming device that means I have to be near high-speed wifi to use it. For the same price you can get a steam deck which can play thousands of games.
Yeah it’s why I’m on the fence about a Steam Deck. I’m stuck between a Project Q and gaming PC or just getting a Steam Deck with a dock and monitor so my gaming PC is like a Switch. Is that possible with a Steam Deck?
Yes it is possible. You should look at the ROG ally since it runs Windows which may be more to your liking
No. Lack of money. Otherwise I’d get SteamDeck instead anyway.
The PS Vita is still to this day my favorite handheld and sony killed it. Then they come out with this and wonder why Nintendo has always been on top for handhelds. This product is honestly a shit in the face of PS fans and I’m genuinely concerned for the well being of anyone dumb enough to buy this. Now that I got that rant out of the way.
Nah I won’t be buying one. I really wish sony would make a new handheld like the vita tho instead of a tablet with a controller glued on
I completely agree. I too still regularly use my Vita. Considering it’s an 11 year old piece of hardware it still feels up to date.
I guess I am in a huge minority of people who is interested in it. Though the caveat is that it must be $150 or under. I am not willing to spend $250+ on such a device.
As for why, the convenience. For me, this is the addon that makes PS5 a hybrid console, like a Switch.
Yeah, I’m interested as well, I’m just a bit hesitant because my experience with remote play has been so-so. It works well for turn based games but for any type of game where you need to react quickly to things it’s a little frustrating to use. Hoping that having a dedicated machine to do it and not using an app would help though. It would be nice to be able to play anywhere in the house, my PS5 is in the basement and sometimes I’d just rather be in a different room. Sitting in a dark basement all day can get depressing haha.
I agree. Not great for fighting games or quick action games. But there are tons of genres that work great with it. Like turn based RPGs, farming games, many indies and so on, and hopefully it will work better on a dedicated device.
So far Slay The Spire is the main thing I’ve used remote play for haha, perfect game for it.
No, I’ve still got my original PSP and it’s homebrewed. Also got a switch.
