According to industry tipster Detective Seeds, Sony plans to launch a new version of PlayStation Portal Pro in 2026, which will introduce an important feature similar to Steam Deck. Detective Seeds, an industry source and YouTuber known for breaking PlayStation-related revelations, recently leaked information about a new PS5 controller.
It is reported that the new version of “Pro Portal” will be equipped with PlayStation’s unique AI super-resolution technology – PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR). PSSR can use a unique AI algorithm to losslessly upgrade low-resolution images to higher resolutions in real time without affecting frame rate performance. It's worth noting that the base PS5 doesn't come with this technology, so it would be a significant upgrade if PlayStation Portal had PSSR capabilities.
In addition, Sony is said to be developing an update that will allow users to use PlayStation Portal without an Internet connection, similar to the offline play experience of Steam Deck. It's unclear if the feature will be limited to the upcoming Pro version or if it will be available to existing models as well.
Detective Seeds said these new features are expected to be released in 2026, but the specific time has not yet been announced. It should be reminded that the above information is unofficial news, and the historical accuracy of the sources is not 100%, so please treat it with caution.
As of now, there is no more information, and more content will be reported later.
