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?
Yeah, I’m interested as well, I’m just a bit hesitant because my experience with remote play has been so-so. It works well for turn based games but for any type of game where you need to react quickly to things it’s a little frustrating to use. Hoping that having a dedicated machine to do it and not using an app would help though. It would be nice to be able to play anywhere in the house, my PS5 is in the basement and sometimes I’d just rather be in a different room. Sitting in a dark basement all day can get depressing haha.
I agree. Not great for fighting games or quick action games. But there are tons of genres that work great with it. Like turn based RPGs, farming games, many indies and so on, and hopefully it will work better on a dedicated device.
So far Slay The Spire is the main thing I’ve used remote play for haha, perfect game for it.
Oh yeah, it’s a great game for that. Also great for Dragon Quest XI, X-Com 2 and Octopath Traveler 2 (haven’t played OT2, but it’s also turn based so will work great), also used it for many indie games, like This is the Police, Wytchwood etc.
