Leaked Images and Video of PlayStation Project Q Showcase Important Details

New information about the PlayStation Project Q handheld gaming device has emerged as leaked images and videos have surfaced. Sony had previously introduced ‘Project Q’ during its PlayStation Showcase in May but had not provided any additional information. However, thanks to Twitter user ZubyTech, who shared these leaks, more details about the device have now been revealed.

Leaked videos and photos show that the device is running Android-like test software, and we also see icons with an Android droid. However, this is just a leak and it’s best to keep our expectations in check until Sony makes an official announcement. If the device ends up running Android – in theory – it would open up the possibility of running Android-based games and even rivaling Xbox’s Xcloud and Valve’s Steam Remote Play. But that’s a long way off – and Sony could deny it. The video also reveals the back of the device, which is empty.

The design of Project Q resembles a split PS5 DualSense controller with an 8-inch screen attached in the middle. The D-pad, shoulder buttons, triggers, and signature PlayStation Circle, Triangle, Square, and X buttons all look identical to the PS5’s DualSense controller.

Sony revealed at the launch that the PlayStation Project Q is not a standalone handheld game console; instead, a device designed to stream PS5 games via remote play. Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan described Project Q as “a proprietary device that lets you stream any game from your PS5 console using Remote Play over Wi-Fi” at the PlayStation Showcase. Sony also revealed that the device retains all the original features of the Sony DualSense controller, including adaptive triggers and haptic feedback.

According to Sony, the PlayStation Q will be able to play compatible games installed on users’ PS5 consoles using Remote Play, but over Wi-Fi. In addition, the device has an 8-inch LCD screen that can play games in 1080P resolution up to 60 frames per second.

There’s no word on when Sony plans to make an official announcement about the price and release date, but since the leaks have started to appear, it shouldn’t be too far off.
