Sony Project Q links to your PlayStation 5 and allows you to play its games. You must keep your PS 5 on and connect your Project Q via wireless Internet. Unlike the Steam Deck, it will not let you play PS5 games on the go, reported Inquirer.Net.

Geoff Keighley also said that the Project Q will have a “vibrant 8-inch LCD screen capable of 1080p resolution at 60 FPS.” As a result, you can rely on this new Sony machine to deliver “crisp visuals and smooth gameplay.”

It also includes features from the PS5 DualSense controller, such as haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.

The adaptive triggers prevent your fingers from more in-game actions.

Sony is gaining a lot of attention for its upcoming device, but it's also facing stiff competition from existing top players, which include Nintendo Switch and the Steam Deck.
