Sony may be looking to get back into the dedicated portable space with a new PS5 handheld.
“portable” aka microsofts wet dream, everything requires internet and thus useless outside. Be better, be like steamdeck. But then why not just getting a steamdeck.
The steam deck that runs steam? The steam that essentially requires an Internet connection at all times to work properly?
I’ve taken it on many flights with no Internet and played my games at 30,000ft
I’ve taken it to a camping trip and the experience was horrible. There’s all kinds of features that just don’t work properly when being offline, most of all profile switching, which we rely heavily on. It’s great that you had a better experience, but I can’t confirm that.
also steam deck is a linux pc.
you are not limited to steam.
I’ve literally used it on a boat in the middle of the sea with no connection of any kind.
The deck, and steam, pretty much just keep working without internet where any installed games are concerned. Even if you don’t activate “offline mode” in advance.
Tried handing it to a family member that then wants to switch to their profile?
