彭博社 11 月 25 日的报道显示,索尼集团公司正处于开发手持式 PlayStation 游戏机的早期阶段,据称该游戏机将支持 PS5 游戏。这一开发将使索尼与其竞争对手任天堂和微软处于同一水平。
任天堂凭借其 Nintendo Switch 手持设备一直是手持游戏机领域的主导公司。现在,该公司计划明年发布下一代手持游戏机以接替当前的游戏机。
Xbox 背后的微软公司也在开发手持式 Xbox 游戏机的原型。然而,该报告指出,该公司距离该设备的推出还有很长的路要走。
该报告证实,索尼的 PS5 掌上游戏机距离推出可能还有数年时间,并补充说该公司也可能决定废弃它。不过,索尼集团尚未对这款掌上游戏机发表任何官方评论。
索尼和 PlayStation 对手持设备并不陌生。第一款手持游戏机 PlayStation Portable (PSP) 于 2004 年问世。PSP 的设计支持多种应用程序,包括无线连接、视频、音乐、照片、互联网等。这款流行设备在市场上停留了 10 年,销量超过 8000 万台,与 PlayStation 2 和 3 兼容。
索尼于 2011 年发布了另一款手持游戏机 PlayStation Vita,该游戏机首先在日本推出,然后于 2012 年走向国际。PS Vita 支持蓝牙、WiFi 和 PS4 的远程游戏。然而,2017年任天堂Switch的发布导致PS Vita在游戏市场陷入停滞。索尼后来于 2019 年完全停产了该设备。
社交媒体情绪对此次发布的传闻表现出了热情。值得注意的是,自 Vita 停产以来, PlayStation 粉丝一直在等待另一款手持设备,有些人甚至建议开发 Vita 2。其他人则提到,传闻中的掌上游戏机也将成为 Switch 需要的竞争对手。
索尼新款便携式 PlayStation Portal 将于今年晚些时候正式推出,售价 199.99 美元。

Last year, Sony released the PlayStation Portal, a remote-play device allowing players to access PlayStation 5 games through WiFi streaming. Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Vice President of Product Management, Hiromi Wakai, revealed that the demand for the device exceeded the company’s expectations.
In an alleged email interview, Wakai confirmed that the PlayStation Portal’s idea came from the idea of Remote Play for PlayStation 3 in 2006. Sony first announced the device in May 2023, surprising many gamers with its re-entry into the portable gaming devices market.
A recent announcement by Wakai on PlayStation’s blog revealed that PlayStation Portal is receiving a software update that will support cloud streaming. The update will allow players to access PS5 games without the PS5 console. Wakai confirmed that the update is still in the beta phase.
PlayStation Plus Premium members can participate in the beta cloud streaming after the update goes live.
“….PlayStation Plus Premium members will be able to participate in a beta for cloud streaming on PS Portal, allowing select PS5 games in the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog* to be streamed directly from our servers, even without a PS5 console.”
Hiromi Wakai, Sony Interactive Entertainment VP of Product Management
Some games players can enjoy include Ghost of Tsushima, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart. The service will be available in 30 countries, including the UK, U.S., France, Switzerland, Sweden, and more.
