Rumors of a brand new PlayStation Handheld console are already making rounds on the internet. As per some rumors and reports, Sony Interactive Entertainment is planning to officially drop the PlayStation handheld console and PlayStation 5 pro as early as 2024. This actually makes sense as it matches the gap between PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 pro- three years, give or take.

Furthermore, by 2024, the chip shortage issue is expected to abate, giving developers the complete freedom to release new consoles in the market. Above all, as per Sony’s chief, John Kodera, the company is planning to bring a new handheld console to the market. He further said that Sony is trying to explore more into gaming and what fans actually want. He also highlighted the point Sony is considering different options in regard to portable gaming.
