Sony may be looking to get back into the dedicated portable space with a new PS5 handheld.

    “portable” aka microsofts wet dream, everything requires internet and thus useless outside. Be better, be like steamdeck. But then why not just getting a steamdeck.

      The steam deck that runs steam? The steam that essentially requires an Internet connection at all times to work properly?

        My pc is barely ever online and Steam works fine. Steam has had offline mode for years.

        I’ve literally used it on a boat in the middle of the sea with no connection of any kind.

        The deck, and steam, pretty much just keep working without internet where any installed games are concerned. Even if you don’t activate “offline mode” in advance.
