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.   The recent February  PlayStation State of Play  saw no announcement. But, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than the distant cousin that most of its appearances suggest.  As the improvement in connectivity and streaming tech, proven by many gamers enjoying their PS5 or PlayStation Plus streamed content from around the world, an updated Portal Pro could be on the cards.  Possibly featuring a 120Hz display and an OLED screen in honour of the mighty Vita, that'd be coo...

Duke Nukem and Whoa, Dave hit Vita on PS+ for Jan

Not much more needs saying really, a low-end effort for the start of the year. The Duke Nukem game spent so long in Q&A approval at Sony, that I wonder if it was worth all the effort, or what other buglets still lurk within? Still, with Devolver pulling the dev strings, it should retain all the fun of the original, with trophies and extra content to boot.

I can't find any mention of Whoa, Dave in the blog, so over to the PSN blog for that one. It comes from the folks behind the Bit.Trip titles, Gaijin Games, so should at least be bright and addictive, and there's nothing wrong with the retro-look either. Think we should also get the cool-looking The Swapper which is Cross-Buy across PS3 and PS4.



Let's hope some decent major release games are now old enough to count for PS+ in the near future, otherwise the Vita offering will start to look rather weak.

NOTE that due to the PSN outage, PlayStation Plus subscribers get an extra five days on their membership to cover the loss of action and a 10% discount off their next purchase.
