Possible new PlayStation Portal model pays homage to the Vita's OLED

While much of the focus on PlayStation's next steps is the PS6 and PS6 Portable , the two-year old PlayStation Portal could be getting a revamp according to those pesky internet rumours.  Update : Hints at pricing are around £/$250-299 for the new model, but everything remains deeply in rumours territory. Presumably the goal is to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners, something that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   There's a PlayStation State of Play coming up on 12th February that might act as an announcement point.

Sunflowers hitting PS Vita this week

Game Atelier launches the brightest looking Vita game yet with Sunflowers out this week on (I'm assuming the EU) PSN which, alongside the free Ecolibrium, makes this week a pretty good one. The deceptively simple looking flower raising game should be a perfect reminder of summer, if you had one, as winter draws on.

It will be available as a trial version and plays with the Vita held upright. More information on the game here. Hopefully the price will be similar to the iOS version which releases around the same time, and not some Plants vs. Zombies-like overpricing madness.

UPDATE: The price is a lovely €2.99 for two worlds and 330 flowers, guess there will be some DLC too. Also, a US PSN release will be announced soon.


Game Atelier brought Flying Hamster to the PSP as a mini and its next game, Gauge, will be for iOS, hopefully if Sunflowers does well on Vita, the team will continue to support it.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
