This time, there is new leaked information regarding Sony’s upcoming PlayStation handheld. This has sparked a major excitement and discussion among the fans on the internet.
According to the latest leaks from Kepler on Neogaf forum, this upcoming device could feature a more powerful GPU than the Xbox Series S. For now, nothing has been confirmed by Sony yet. Let’s check out more details in this article.
PlayStation handheld with powerful GPU & advanced features
The insider Kepler has claimed that this Sony handheld will outperform the Xbox Series S in terms of GPU capabilities.
The most gains will be delivered in rasterization performance, but could be “massively ahead” when it comes to ray tracing and path tracing.
Also, this handheld is rumored to support advanced upscaling technologies, like FSR 5 and PSSR 3. This could easily rival or even surpass the current solutions, such as DLSS 4.5.
If the leaks are true, this would easily put Sony’s upcoming PlayStation Handheld as a cutting-edge portable gaming beast.
Impressive memory specifications
Another key highlight from the leaks is the reported 24 GB of shared memory. This is slightly slower if we compare it to the upcoming PS6.
However, this is still a major upgrade for a handheld device. This could easily allow the device to handle the modern AAA titles more efficiently. Easily delivering smooth performance with better visual fidelity.
Pricing & release window for PlayStation Handheld
Early reports and rumors suggest that this handheld could launch at around $500 without an OLED display.
However, due to the rise of component costs and global economic pressures, the final price for this device could be set higher.
For now, this device is expected to launch during the holiday season of 2027, potentially alongside the next-generation Xbox console, Project Helix.
