The Midnight Black model will cost ¥39,980 including tax and go on sale on 10 December. Sony says the storage is intended for future functions.
Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced a revised PlayStation Portal handheld with internal storage, intended for use only in Japan. Sony has not specified what functions the storage will enable.
The Portal launched in 2023 as a Remote Play-only device for streaming games installed on a PlayStation 5 console; cloud streaming followed in 2025. Sony says it has changed the new model’s Japanese name from PlayStation Portal Remote Player to PlayStation Portal Player to reflect uses beyond Remote Play.
The new model’s tax-inclusive price is ¥39,980, the same as the existing Portal, IGN said. Preorders begin on 13 November through Japanese retailers and online stores, ahead of sales on 10 December.
The device supports Japanese only and accepts PlayStation accounts registered in Japan. Sony limits its use to Japan, so it is not an unrestricted option for buyers abroad.
Remote Play streams supported games installed on a PS5 over Wi-Fi. The console must be paired with the Portal, connected to broadband and switched on or in rest mode. A PlayStation account is also required.
Cloud streaming sends supported PS5 games directly to the handheld without a console, but requires a PlayStation Plus Premium subscription. It covers supported games in the subscription catalogs and eligible digital games bought separately. The device includes a redeemable 1-month subscription; it renews automatically at the applicable regular price unless canceled before the period ends.
The Portal needs broadband over Wi-Fi at a minimum of 5 Mbps; Sony recommends 15 Mbps and says quality and connectivity can vary with network conditions.
Sony says it will provide details of the future storage functions once they are finalized.
Sega said 92,273 records also included information associated with newsletter delivery, while SEGA Account addresses were outside the leak. It has suspended newsletters sent through provider Arara.

NVIDIA says the model averaged 71% success across 50 tasks with one demonstration per task and 95% with five, as partners test it for laundry handling, manufacturing and other work.
