Sony updated PlayStation Portal and added mysterious built-in storage

Translated with AI from the Russian original.

Sony introduced the PlayStation Portal Player for Japan, a new version of the Portal with built-in storage. Sales will begin on December 10, 2026.

The device retains the Portal’s 8-inch 1080p LCD screen at 60 frames per second, 3D audio, haptic feedback, and adaptive triggers. The main new feature is built-in storage. Sony has not yet explained its purpose: the storage is intended for future features, details of which will be revealed once plans are finalized.

The name reflects the Portal’s new capabilities since 2023. Initially, the device only supported Remote Play from the PS5, and in 2025 it received cloud streaming for PlayStation Plus Premium games. The package will include a voucher for a one-month subscription. PS5 games run over Wi-Fi.

The catalog includes Final Fantasy XVI, Rise of the Ronin, and The Exit 8. Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake will be added in November, and Dynasty Warriors: Origins in December. Premium subscribers will be able to stream digital purchases for PS5. Among the thousands of compatible games are Monster Hunter Wilds, Ghost of Yōtei, Genshin Impact, and NTE: Neverness to Everness.

The model will be released only in Japan and will support the Japanese language and PlayStation accounts registered in the country. Pre-orders start on November 13 at 10:00. The price with taxes is about $252.
