After Google engineers hacked the PlayStation Portal to run PSP games natively, Sony fixed the bug, removing this unintended functionality from its latest handheld. The fix had a helping hand from engineers Andy Nguyen and Calle Svensson when the former said they «responsibly reported the issues to PlayStation,» allowing Sony to find and patch the bug.
When the PlayStation Portal was first unveiled, it sparked a wave of anticipation and excitement among gamers. Many envisioned Sony's new handheld as a dedicated portable console, but that was not the case. The PlayStation Portal is an accessory for playing PS5 games remotely and owning the console is a requirement. However, fans were ecstatic when two Google engineers revealed they had hacked the PlayStation Portal to run PSP games natively, opening up a world of possibilities for the hardware.
But the celebrations were short-lived. Andy Nguyen took to Twitter to announce that he had reported the issues to PlayStation and that a fix for the hack on the PlayStation Portal is in update 2.06. Despite the unhappiness of several users, Nguyen said it was just a matter of weeks until Sony fixed the bug and that his report would not change the outcome. Users who want to play PSP games on the PlayStation Portal will have to resort to the PlayStation Plus Premium service again.
Despite the frustrations and complaints of users on the internet, the PlayStation Portal quickly became popular with its owners and went out of stock shortly after its release. The project was one of Jim Ryan's last endeavors as CEO of PlayStation, who formally retired at the end of March. And while the PlayStation Portal is a competent accessory, many fans wonder if Sony will ever return to the handheld game console market after the PS Vita failed to appeal.
It seems Sony is listening to its audience, as a new patent hints at a new PlayStation handheld. This latest patent references the brand's old handhelds, such as PSP and PS Vita, and supposedly would have cloud gaming technology, something not available on the PlayStation Portal. The patent also highlights that it wants to facilitate switching between playing a game on the console and a mobile gaming device format, suggesting a hybrid model, like the Nintendo Switch.
With cloud gaming technology, it's possible that the new handheld device will not have dedicated games. Instead, it could directly run PS4 and PS5 games without sacrificing responsiveness or visual quality. This would allow for seamless switching between console and handheld device gaming. However, everything is still speculation. So far, Sony has yet to formally reveal the mid-gen upgrade for PlayStation 5, which may come before a possible announcement of a new

After the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation Vita, there wasn’t much hope that Sony would create another handheld system. Both consoles failed to establish themselves as meaningful parts of PlayStation’s ecosystems despite having passionate fan bases. That’s what made the initial reveal of the PlayStation Portal so surprising, at least until we knew exactly what it was. As an accessory, the PlayStation Portal is a decent device for some situations. It makes remote play easy and combines all the cool features of the DualSense controller with a great display. However, it does leave a lot to be desired for those hoping for a bit more from a new PlayStation device. Should Sony decide to iterate on this novel idea, there are a few features we think it needs to have to be a true success.
