Unless this is under $100 this is one of the most baffling things a major console maker has ever made. Austin is 100% right, a year from release stores will just be giving these away with regular PS5 purchases and selling them for like $50 bucks to just dump stock like they did with the PSTV and the PS1 classic. Unless the packaging is VERY clear, or they expect stores to give every parent and grand parent a lecture on what this thing is, a bunch of kids are going to be opening their Christmas presents to reveal a brick they can't use because mommy and daddy thought this was just a cheaper handheld version of a PS5.

As an Xbox player, I wanted this to be a ps vita regen so bad. Would have got it in a heartbeat.

Austin's been rummaging through The Rock's old wardrobe 😆😎

Your ps5 can now be a wii u except the tablet is separate 😂

This is not $100. The dual sense alone is $70? The Dualsense Edge is $200. This would cost probably at least $300 and it will be locked down to only run as a remote play device. Might as well just get a controller for your Android phone with the PSplay app.

I’m with Austin on this one. As it is now, it’s pointless.

Dang Austin drippy tho 🥶 💧

Good thing they spent possibly millions of dollars fighting the Activision Blizzard acquisition by Microsoft instead of worrying about their own products and services.

If it played PSP/Vita games and were built in or for download, alongside being able to play your PS4/PS5 games from the console, that would sell fast, but i just don't see that happening with this.

You can tell how upset austin is. I dont think ive ever really seen him like this.

Matt always has arguments that apply to only like 1 percent of people lmao

I've been waiting 3 years for Sony to make a competitor to the Switch, and they blew it! I even imagined it looking just like this! I'm so angry with Sony, I'm just going to buy an ROG Ally and stream my PS5 to it so it has more functionality!

I still remember buying my vita around 2015 for like 150 on gamestop. Best purchase ever

they really dropped the ball, the switch is out here still selling amazing and they could have made it basically a playstation switch...instead they dropped the ball harder than nintendo with the wii u(I still love my wii u for its few use cases, which at least it has)

Sony is the master of making products no one wanted. They make a lot of e-waste.

Personally can’t wait to see all the folks with unfixable stick drift on these. How many of these are Sony going to be willing to replace before they pull the plug on it entirely?

Really hard to justify this over a backbone. I want it to be good so bad though...

Sony's board of execs: "We're the top dog in the console market, so let's take notes from NVidia's book and greenlight this streaming-only thing with our logo slapped to it. It will surely sell like hotcakes, no matter what price we think of for it". There's the answer to your question, Austin.

I think one thing that could be interesting is any eventual custom firmware that would come to it

Austin drop the link for that jat 👀🔥

Hopefully it'll also act as another standalone controller for direct play. So you get a second controller for that price.

Thank you I wasn't sure about getting a steam deck but after watching your video I am now convinced lol😊

I don't think I've ever seen Austin so fired up about something.

Austin's clothing choice is a better option than the handheld PS5 remote play thingie.

Razer kishi is like 40$ whats the point of this thing i dont know

I waited for this to be announced and let’s just say I bought a steam deck yesterday 😂

I use remote play all the time without any issues when I'm not home. I use the PS5 controller with an android tablet. Bigger with the same PS5 controller. Can't go wrong

I am with matt on this one, i had a vita and to be honest it almost never left the house so being stuck to play this within my own home would not bother me, although the price would have to be alot lower than all the competition for me to consider actually buying one

I LOVE YOU MATT AND AUSTIN. YOU MAKE MY DAYS SO MUCH BETTER

in today news, sony anounces Wii U

This is literally, so far, the Wii U gamepad concept. Just, with upgraded specs.

It's also the fact that Sony is like hey Nintendo can we copy your homework? this is literally the sony version of the wii u

This products probably works with cloud gaming, but is not part of the marketing because the only thing you can cloud game in playstation right now are PS4 and PS3 games on PS Plus. But eventually Sony will start to use cloud gaming for PS5 games also.

I don't expect it to be less than 200$. Controller alone costs 60$.. If i really wanted remote play i would get the app and some sort controller for my ipad, phone. Maybe if i really felt like my phones screen is too small and i didn't own a tablet and i didn't have several TV's in my household..

“Dressed as I am right now what the heck you thinking”😂😂😂😂

Austin dressed like an Italian guy drinking coffee in France before he goes to meet Jason Stathom & The Rock for the next Fast movie

Wow, Austin got some nice close.

If this only uses Wi-Fi, what's there to stop users from pairing this to their PC, Switch, or Xbox?

Austin is spot on, they missed out huge on not making this a proper handheld console

Video idea, create the ultimate project q before it is even released.

Using my phone or deck for remote play always seemed clunky. A dedicated device with a larger screen, real controller and fully optimized to work the best the technology allows does interest me. Battery life should be really good as well. If its under $199 it would be a buy for me but it will probably go for $299.

Wii U 2

Great ideas to the forefront 😊

PS5 remote play on Deck with Chiaki is impressive(and easy to set up), but I wouldn't have bought the Deck JUST for that even if it was only $100.

The absolute swagger dripping off Austin is palpable

Matt is 100% right today (at $150), & Austin keeps ignoring Matt's actual points.

They Q-lite is amazing I feel can't wait

now the iphone supports all the functions of the dualsense

Price dependant, I would love this thing. It's like undocking your Switch (around the house only, but still) which is how I've been able to play more games to completion than I have on PS4. Switch around the house is like 90% of all my gaming. If I can add some PS5 to that, ot would be incredible (I also hope there's some kind of dedicated connection, I hate the Remote Play app)

Buying the Q day 1, my iPhone mini can't push remote play without the battery dying. All I ever wanted was a dedicated device to stream remote play and get my trophies! The controller ends look way more comfortable than an 8bitdo with a clip and less cumbersome than a full controller with an iPad. Really excited for this, assuming its $200 or less.

Remote play currently works if the device you’re playing on is on a different Wi-Fi connection than the one your ps5 is on! Doing this already with a ps4 at a different house to my ps5

When the ear buds have more hype then their project Q there’s an issue.

SteamDeck 2 is around the corner. RIP Console Gaming

People saying they’ll buy it if it’s $75-$100 are so baffling to me, that’s literally the price of a PS5 controller on its own. Add the cost of a screen, battery and processor and I’d place the cost somewhere around $200-$300.

Doesn’t the vita still work for remote play?

The only reason I would buy it is; if it is $75-$100, can be due booted (with Windows, or android and what ever a Playstation Switch UI would look like) then, 5 hours of battery life.

I saw someone say on twitter the perfect analysis: "I can't wait to play Ubisoft's Splatoon on the Sony Playstation Wii-U"

Astin, I agree!....and I know your gonna replicate this for less than 100 dollars! Can't wait!

“Do you guys not have phones?!” -Austin Evans, 2023

The Q would be optimized for the system vs a phone. I agree with Matt.

Has anyone talked about stick drift as problem with this new handheld? I couldn't tell if it's going to be like a switch.

these two are battling over mike time lol ! everybody wants a mic!

This is a test launch. They are only releasing a few of them. Next will have full functionality

"At Playstation, innovation is our passion." Translation: "We at Playstation are passionate about Nintendo's innovations from 2012"

Okay, so I'm of the group that are keeping a close eye on this one - primarily because I particularly use Remote Play quite often as a parent gamer that typically has all the screens in the house being used by the children and wife. And I love being able to play from anywhere in the house while still being able to be present, but I always find myself missing the features the DualSense brings while using the BackBone w/ my iPhone. Also, gratuitous violence isn't typically the most appropriate thing to have blown up on a 70 inch screen while my child plays with playdough in the same room. However, I believe the success of this device really will come down to two components - the perceived versatility and value of the device dependent on the individual user --- and the price per value. They are 100% right to be concerned about the price. Hopefully Sony will be justifying the price based on the end result of what this thing will be capable of. AT BASE VALUE: If this thing truly turns out to be just a DualSense with a screen, no real UI other than once it powers on, it immediately begins pairing w/ your system - the value for me personally, would be the benifit of having the features of the DualSense itself while playing remotely. What can I justify paying at this value? Not more than maybe $150 USD. At this point, it will be a glorified controller. Still interesting, just not worth a high price tag. If it passes $200, it will flop. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE: Now, if Sony just takes this current design, but adds the ability to download games to the device, like say from the PS Classics collection, really fleshing out the new subscription service benifits. This would be a game changer for me in particular with being able to revisit my old favorites. And if they really want to get cookin' with this thing, they'll add a compatible dock for the portable, and allow to connect via HDMI and upscale the picture for your larger TV, thus having the ability to utilize your PS5 from any screen in the house. From this standpoint, I could potentially justify paying $300-$400+ for this handheld. But until more information gets released, all of what anybody says regarding potential price and value for the cost will 100% be based off just speculation and no solid information. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. -Bored Dad

It looks pretty cool, not sold entirely yet. But very interested in to see everything it can do.

i have feeling this thing will be around $250 - $300. This would honestly be more worth if it was able to do 1. cloud gaming, 2. a way to improve remote play low latency (cause everyone's experience is different), and 3. if they announced psp & psp vita games coming to ps plus

Matt sounds like Mr Walter’s imitation of Schmidt in the prison scene from 22 Jump Street

11:58 I did buy it sir, and I am thoroughly enjoying it!

How do you play PlayStation games on an iPhone with cloud play and do I have to have a PlayStation for that to work or can I just do it without a PlayStation?

As someone who is from Rochester Ny I LOVE your shirt Matt!!!

I know this was long ago, but I own a backbone device, and it's awesome. Not only can i use it for PS Remote Play, but it adds functionality to ALL of my Play Store games as well.

Possibly named Q because there are so many questions...

It will be determined by the price. I see the functionality in it, but for a certain price

Can the vita use remote play with the PS5?

I put forward that we do not call this the Q, but the PSPU

Just bought the new Playstation Backbone one. IT IS ONE HUNDRED AND TEN PERCENT WORTH 100 DOLLARS!

Just use a smart watch and disable notifications on the phone. But on the other side, I understand that having a dedicated system is better for the mobility aspect of a gaming system

Austin's outfit LMAO!!!!!

If for some reason you're home and can't play on the TV or your phone, just take a damn nap.

My boy matt was about to catch fire 🔥 lol

Way to represent Rochester, NY with that beautiful shirt!

All it needs is 1TB SSD and a functioning ps store and this thing would amazing! Imagine playing everything PS5 wherever you want in full experience.

You called it

This looks like evil Austin Evans that sells scams to good Austin Evans

I like it. As long as it has less input lag.

Matt is so right here on if this was just PS branded ROG Ally. Sony is riding wayyyyy to much on the controller features being the selling point for this, and that's even IF it's 150. I can easily see them pulling 199 since the controllers are $70 as is.

Clearly Jim Ryan is a fan of the Wii U.

eyyyyyy Austin wearing the new Apple Watch Pride band I love it

Remote play was a ps3 to psp feature. Austin was being nice when he said 10 years 😂 it’s probably closer to 15-20 years

I want this thing. I travel a lot and I'd love to try and use this on WiFi at hotels or where my connection is good enough. The dedicated screen and the nice controller appeal to me.

If this was an android based device with 5G and WiFi 6 it could make sense but it would be even better if it could run PSVita and PSP games natively either with PSVita cartridges or a PSN account, this could be a decent dedicated device for gaming remotely and natively! I’ve had 3 PSVitas and the biggest problem I’ve had with it is the battery life and the controls and this could easily solve those problems but this might just be a piece of E-Waste if it just does WiFi remote play for the PS5 only and not even the PS4. Just remember the PS3 had remote play and it wasn’t that great but it was a feature that required the PSVita and even the PSP.

No Project Q for me. If I want to stream my PS5, I'll just use my Steam Deck....which can also cloud stream the Playstation game catalog and natively play the Playstation games that have been ported to Steam...

I am dying to know if it can stream the video without internet. If it works wireless similar to the Wii U gamepad (with over Wi-Fi optionally) I’m grabbing one. If it’s 100% internet reliant that sucks.

"We have enough devices" -Austin

they literally pitched it as a wii U, its literally a wii U, a hanheld with a screen that does remote play, thats a wii U my friend

triangle, square, circle, X. Its more than a console, its a lifestyle.

Sony must be extremely disconnected from their consumer base. PS Vita and PSP nostalgia is at an all time high, tiktoks, youtube videos, modding, people loved and still love those handhelds. Plus with the insane boom of gaming handhelds in the world right now, i cant imagine how a PSP/Vita reboot WOULDNT sell like crazy

Hard pass on the Q if it's just a remote play device. I don't see anyone buying it if it's expensive because you could just buy a Steam Deck or any other handheld device and use remote play and get a whole ass PC or emulation station as well. The price will be a big factor tho. Any more than $150 is a bust.

from someone who used my vita to remote play a ton i actually like this device. especially since i cant sit for long gaming sessions anymore and i dont want to use my phone for remote play also the remote play works really well from my experience
