The PlayStation Portal wasn't the new PSP fans were hoping for. It was merely a remote-play device lacking the standalone capabilities that made previous PlayStation handhelds so beloved. But good news: the Sony PSP3 is reportedly on the horizon, promising to fulfil the wishes of those yearning for a true portable gaming console.
The rumoured PSP3 is set to be a true successor to the PSP and PS Vita. This information was leaked by Russian journalist Anton Logvinov via his Twitter account. Logvinov previously accurately predicted that Death Stranding and Horizon Zero Dawn would come to PC, lending credibility to his claims about the PSP3.
Ever since the news broke, excitement has been building among fans who have longed for a new portable PlayStation device. While the details are still very scarce, we’ll paint a picture of the Sony PSP3 with the information we know so far. But, before that, you may want to know about the new Xbox handheld in the works.
Sony PSP3 2024 Specs
As reported by TCMFGames, the PSP3 will be powered by AMD technology. The portable console will be able to play all PS4 games natively, providing access to a vast library of titles right from the start.
Additionally, the PSP3 will also support some PS5 titles through patches similar to those used by the Steam Deck. Sony will release these patches to ensure that PS5 games are compatible with the hardware and architecture of the PSP3.
Sony PSP3 2024 Release Date
Although the title mentions "Sony PSP3 2024," it doesn't mean that the portable gaming device will be released in 2024. It might take at least two to three years to complete. Therefore, a release year of 2026 or 2027 seems more reasonable.
That covers everything we know about the Sony PSP3, the new PlayStation portable. We will update this guide with more information as it becomes available. In the meantime, you can learn about the PlayStation Portal hack to play PSP games.
