Sony's firmware update, launching tomorrow, will add new features to its popular PS5 remote accessory

I’m bullish on Sony PlayStation entering the handheld gaming market with a PSP 2 portable console that’s rumored for next year, but we’re taking baby steps today. A software update working out some of the kinks of the existing PlayStation Portal (a remote player accessory for the PS5 when you’re away from the TV) feels like it’s paving the way for a Sony PSP 2. Gamers also want Sony to rival the many PC gaming handhelds we’ve reported on: the Steam Deck OLED, Asus ROG Ally X, Lenovo Legion Go, and Zotac Zone.
