PlayStation Project Q is a solution in need of a problem

Truth be told, <a href="https://www.thepoint.online/sony-playstation-showcase-may-2023-announcements-impressions/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Sony’s May PlayStation Showcase held little surprises</a> in terms of software that nobody ever expected to see… but there was one such surprise, of sorts, in terms of hardware. The company unveiled a new product it’s calling “Project Q” for now: it’s an accessory that combines a DualSense controller with an 8-inch, HD screen in order to allow consumers to play their PlayStation5 games on it via wireless streaming. A few excited consumers jumped at the opportunity of celebrating the appearance of a PS Vita successor, but this is obviously nothing of the sort. It was never meant to be perceived as such: Project Q can only play PS4/PS5 games streamed from a PS5 over Wi-Fi if said games are installed on Sony’s system. So it will not work e.g. outdoors over 5G, nor will it play e.g. PS3/PS4 games offered in streaming form, such as those available to PS Plus Premium subscribers. <a href="https://medium.com/turn-on-press-play/playstation-project-q-is-a-solution-in-need-of-a-problem-d3da9c4d7d2a">Website</a>
