If you ask me, the fact that it requires a PS5 makes it a non starter. I was really hoping for a standalone handheld, maybe not as powerful as the PS5, but something to compete with the Switch and Steam Deck. Like the PSP was a less powerful PS2 but still a standalone handheld providing a console like experience. Or even a phone handheld, the N-Gage was ahead of its time!

    I just hope they don’t use it as an excuse to kill off PS Remote Play.

    I quite like being able to play PS5 games on my Retroid Pocket 3+.

        Yup, PSPlay is technically what I’m using. It’s pretty solid on this device, and you’re right – better than the official app. Worth the five bucks or so I threw at it.

        I just had to setup custom on-screen mapping for the touchpad & PS button, and I was good to go.
