Sony made a PS gaming monitor with a holder for DualSense controller, and you can buy it soon

Posted on by

When you read that headline, you could have two questions: Was it really necessary? And/or, why didn’t someone think of it before? If you think your monitor is doing just fine with the PS5 (like it is for me), you will probably have the answer to the second question. But if you have been following the recent PlayStation, moreover console gaming, updates Sony is making, I am sure you’ll guess why Sony is investing in an official monitor for its game console.

Sony recently dropped the first wireless desktop speakers – Pulse Elevate – to pair with the PlayStation 5. At first, you could presume these speakers matched the aesthetic sophistication of the gaming console, while providing audio quality that serious gamers would demand. That’s true, but now with the follow-up; this dedicated monitor, it all seems like a bigger plan. A plan to create Sony’s own gaming ecosystem that feels like a natural extension of the PlayStation’s futuristic design language.

Designer: Sony

However you feel about it, Sony’s new monitor, ‘designed from the ground up for the PlayStation 5’ demands your attention. Even though it is made specially for the PS5, it can be used with a PC. Highlight, of course, is the integrated charging hook, attached to the monitor stand, which holds and recharges your DualSense wireless controller when you’re not using it. That USB-C cable you have been losing all this time can now go into a safe drawer for good (until you break the holder loose from the monitor that is).

The 27-inch 1440p LCD monitor designed for gaming, per se, was unveiled at PlayStation’s State of Play Japan recently. It features a Quad high-definition (2560 x 1440) IPS screen that offers HDR and Auto HDR Tone Mapping support. The display, Sony affirms, has a refresh rate of 120 Hz when playing games on the PlayStation 5. But with variable refresh support, it can scale that up to 240 Hz with a compatible PC or Mac.

According to the press information, this official PlayStation monitor is slated to be available in the US and Japan sometime in 2026. Sony remains tight-lipped about the pricing for the monitor, which features two HDMI ports, a DisplayPort, a pair of USB Type-A ports, one USB Type-C port, and a 3.5mm audio jack for connectivity. It also has a built-in stereo speaker to make your gaming sessions more intriguing.

Alongside the 27-inch gaming monitor, Sony has also unveiled a PlayStation 5 Digital Edition for Japan only. It will be priced at ¥55,000 (approx. $355) and will begin shipping in Japan from November 21, 2025.

PlayStation Portal is finally catching up to the Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck

Posted on by

What is the point of being portable if you can’t exactly carry it everywhere? Granted, you can indeed bring the PlayStation Portal anywhere inside the house as long as it’s within range of a Wi-Fi network that’s connected to your PlayStation 5. That’s definitely fine if that’s all you ever want to do, but not in the age of gaming handhelds.

Launching after the Nintendo Switch, the Steam Deck, and a whole host of other gaming PC handhelds, the PS Portal definitely felt limiting and disappointing. Fortunately, it seems that Sony is finally giving what PS fans have been clamoring for, allowing remote cloud access to PlayStation games anywhere they are.

Designer: Sony

To be fair, the official branding of the PlayStation Portal calls it a “Remote Player for PS5 Console.” Its large size, practically an 8-inch tablet flanked by split DualShock controllers, isn’t something you can easily stash inside a bag anyway. Given the popularity of handheld consoles these days, not to mention the absence of an Xbox handheld as well, the limited “local network” functionality of the PS Portal still felt like a step backward.

A new system update for the remote player device is finally taking steps in the right direction. It is enabling cloud streaming support for PlayStation Plus Premium members, which practically means they’ll be able to play a select number of games from anywhere. Even better, they don’t even need to own a PS5 console since they will be streaming from Sony’s servers.

The feature is still in beta, so there are a few caveats like maxing out quality at 1080p/60fps and no access to PS4 or PS3 games in the catalog. A few PS Plus features are also not available, including party voice chat and in-game commerce, but these restrictions are to be expected during the early testing stages anyway.

Game streaming has its fair share of downsides, particularly when it comes to the required Internet bandwidth. Even streaming at just 720p requires a steady 7Mbps connection, while 1080p needs a good 13 Mbps speed. It still doesn’t have the true portability of other handheld consoles that let you play games installed locally, but it’s an acceptable compromise for the PlayStation ecosystem.

PlayStation 4 mod puts a portable console in your hands

Posted on by

The Nintendo Switch ushered in a new age for handheld gaming devices, but somewhat ironically, PC gaming handhelds are the ones dominating that niche market. There was a time when the PlayStation Portable and Vita were the only “serious” portable consoles around, but neither Sony nor Xbox seems to be in a rush to catch up. No, the PlayStation Portal doesn’t qualify in this regard.

This left PlayStation fans to their own devices to scratch this portable itch, leading to many mods and DIY projects with varying levels of success. What makes the “PS4T” rather notable isn’t its looks, which is downright basic, but the way it tries to reuse as much of the original PS4 Slim hardware as much as possible, leading to some interesting design choices.

Designer: Josh (Restore Technique)

There is no shortage of attempts to shoehorn PlayStation and Xbox consoles into relatively handheld sizes, and many of them require modifying and cutting up the console’s motherboard to shrink the whole system down. Curiously, this particular design doesn’t do that, which simplifies the process a little bit but does mean that “handheld” is loosely applied in this case. Of course, many parts like the optical drive and hard disk have to be removed, but the fan and cooling system are mostly the same.

The PS4 Slim is used as the base for this mod as it has the smallest mainboard, fan, and power draw of modern PlayStation models. An original DualShock 4 controller was also used and gutted, but unnecessary parts like the rumble motor and the touchpad were thrown out. The process is definitely not for the faint of heart, but more seasoned modders probably won’t break a sweat.

What’s interesting about the entire process is how it reveals the considerations that have to be made when designing a portable gaming device. Not only do you have to think about battery capacity and heat management, you also have to consider the optimal placements of components inside. It’s definitely not as simple as throwing everything together to have a pretty layout, but the final design, despite its boxy shape, is satisfying and, more importantly, actually functional.

Of course, Sony would have better engineers and designers to work on such a product, so it’s really a matter of business why it hasn’t yet made a new portable PlayStation. For now, console gamers will have to settle for fan-made handheld designs, presuming they’re not wading into the murky gray area of intellectual property rights.
