During Sony's PlayStation Showcase, they unveiled their latest gadget called Project Q, which can be considered one of their most peculiar devices in recent times. This handheld device is specifically designed for playing games that are streamed from your PS5. It features an 8-inch LCD screen with the DualSense controller halves attached to its sides. With the ability to stream games from your PS5 at a resolution of up to 1080p and 60fps over Wi-Fi using Remote Play, Project Q is set to launch later this year.

Apart from this brief announcement, Sony didn't provide many details about the device. However, if you're curious, The Verge's newsroom has compiled a list of questions they have regarding Project Q, ranging from serious inquiries to more light-hearted ones.
