Project Q is the upcoming streaming only device that will allow you to play games installed on a PlayStation 5 remotely.
It has not been announced if the handheld will allow streaming of games from the cloud and is rumoured to cost between £250 - £300.

Will you be picking one up later this year?

I love the idea of a handheld device to play my games on the couch, in bed etc. which is also the main reason I own a Switch. Seeing that this will be streaming only I have some concerns about the gaming experience. Based on my remote play testing at home, I can’t image how this will be a nice experience in the current state. Let’s see and hope for the best.

It’s a glorified Wii U tablet. Definitely not.

You can already stream games to a tablet using an iPad, PlayStation controller, and game streaming service of your choice. Way more practical than buying a dedicated appliance.

I recently tried playing a game on an OLED Switch to compare it to the same game on my iPhone/Backbone combo. The game ran and looked better on my iPhone even though it was running through remote play.

I think I am in the minority of people who is actually interested in this device (in theory)… I just think it looks silly. Somehow the third party Backbone is more visually appealing than the Project Q.

I had such a bad remote play experience with my Vita that my trust in this plummeted. Only if I have the chance to try it before and the price is low enough....maybe.

No way in hell would I waste my money on this.

If it ends up having cloud streaming and Wi-Fi Direct being a connection option I can see it working. But £300 (if true) is way too much. £150 - £200 and I’d seriously consider it.
