Sony declined to comment.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Sony wants to expand the market for PlayStation games, Bloomberg&#8217;s sources said, with a handheld console that plays PS5 games. If the console does make it to market, Sony will be taking on <a class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/nintendo-switch-2-will-officially-be-backward-compatible-with-original-switch-games\">Nintendo&#8217;s unannounced Switch successor<\/a> and a handheld Xbox, <a class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/microsoft-confirms-plans-to-release-an-xbox-handheld-but-its-years-away\">which Microsoft gaming chief Phil Spencer recently confirmed was in the works but years away<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;Sony\u2019s portable device is likely years away from launch and the company could still decide against bringing it to market, the people said, asking not to be named discussing private plans,&#8221; Bloomberg said.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">A true portable PlayStation would be a successor device to the PlayStation Portal, which Sony released in 2023 as a PS5 streaming accessory. Last week, <a class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/playstation-portal-update-rolling-out-cloud-streaming-beta-with-select-ps5-games-for-ps-plus-premium-members\">Sony updated the PlayStation Portal<\/a> to allow PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers to utilize cloud technology to stream their games on the go \u2014 even if they don\u2019t have a PS5. According to Bloomberg, Sony originally intended for the PlayStation Portal to work as a standalone device, similar to Valve\u2019s Steam Deck.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Sony of course has a history with portable PlayStation consoles. Its PlayStation Portable (PSP) launched first in December 2004 as a Nintendo DS competitor, and played games on the Universal Media Disc (UMD) format. The PlayStation Vita followed in December 2011, and aimed at competing with the Nintendo 3DS. Both handhelds were eventually discontinued, and Sony went on to focus on home consoles starting with the PS4 in 2013.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The report comes hot on the heels of Sony\u2019s release of its $700 mid-gen console refresh, the PS5 Pro. <a class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/playstation-5-sales-down-from-last-year-sony-reveals\">Sales of the PS5 itself have fallen<\/a> as the console enters the second half of its lifecycle.

Kadokawa CEO Takeshi Natsuno has insisted no decision has been made.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Sony\u2019s gaming business has already suffered significant layoffs this year and the closure of multiple studios, including <a class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/sony-says-it-should-have-done-user-testing-and-internal-evaluation-earlier-on-concord\"><u>Concord developer Firewalk<\/u><\/a>.

The layoffs impacted a number of PlayStation studios, including Insomniac, Naughty Dog, Guerrilla, and Firesprite, but PlayStation&#8217;s London studio was hit hardest with a notice of closure.
