The Sony Project Q handheld is running Android in a leaked video
The leaked video answers one of our key questions
This thing is so confusing to me. If it can play any android compatible thing I could understand a little more. But a remote play app is available for free on basically any modern smartphone. This gives you a controller built in yes but.... Idk I just don't get it.
It would be pretty nifty if you could at least install PS classics on this thing and play them natively with trophy support. I’m not expecting that to be the case, though.
Why Android? Linux with Proton would make so much more sense, Android games are mostly mobile trash...
Android already has mature touch software and runs their RemotePlay app.
I get it, the usual person wouldnt want to tinker much but I was able to get remote play on my steam deck and run god of war ragnarok with little to no issue. Dont see why they dont just make their own version to compete and have the remote play as another feature.
So is this like a device to play your PS while your TV is in use? Or is it a true handheld where I could play anywhere?
The former
It's just a big screen strictly for remote play
Hopefully it'll double as a tablet.
@reddeadriv The question would be which App Store would be installed and supported by default. Does it support Google services and Google App Store? Will it have a Sony Store?
My guess would be unless you jailbreak it, none of that will be there. Just Playstation apps.
it'll be sony proprietary for the first 15 minutes it's out in the wild until someone cracks it to make it useful
Imagine getting native support for Steam Link on this thing! Especially with the integrated controller.
