Japan-Exclusive Release
Sony will release an updated PlayStation Portal handheld exclusively in Japan on December 10th. This new model will be available in a midnight black color option and is priced at 39,980 yen (approximately $253 USD).
Additional Internal Storage
A key change in this Japanese model is the inclusion of additional internal storage. Sony states this extra storage is for "future functionality" that will be detailed once features are finalized. The device will be locked to Japanese language options and requires a PlayStation account registered in Japan.
Potential for New Features
The existing PlayStation Portal primarily streams PS5 games from a console or the cloud and does not support streaming applications like YouTube or Netflix. The addition of internal storage and the renaming of the device to "PlayStation Portal Player" suggest that this specific model might gain access to streaming apps or allow for offline media playback in the future.
