Japan Exclusive: PlayStation Portal Gets Storage Boost
9 Nov
Summary
- New PlayStation Portal version launching exclusively in Japan.
- This Japan-only model includes additional internal storage.
- The device will be priced at 39,980 yen and releases December 10th.
Sony is set to launch a new iteration of its PlayStation Portal device, but this release will be exclusive to Japan. The new model is scheduled to arrive on December 10th, featuring a midnight black color option. A key enhancement for this Japan-only version is the inclusion of additional internal storage, with Sony citing "future functionality" as the reason for this upgrade.
This updated device will be named PlayStation Portal Player, a change from its previous designation. The additional storage and name modification suggest this model might gain the ability to support streaming applications like Netflix or YouTube, which are not compatible with the current PlayStation Portal. The existing device primarily functions for streaming PS5 games from a console or the cloud.
The Japan-exclusive PlayStation Portal Player will be available for 39,980 yen. This localized release emphasizes Sony's strategy for catering to specific market demands and introducing enhanced features through regional exclusives.
