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 to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   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 cool. Assuming the 120HZ streaming is solid, an OLED would be the more welcome addition, especially with the latest generation of technology offering QD-OLED (Quantum Dot-OLED), WOLED (White-OLED) and other buzzy titles for smarter display.  Whatever ...

Back in 1995 out this week

Announced last autumn, retro horror mystery Degica's Back in 1995 is out this week on PSN, bringing that early-poly game feel to the Vita and PS4. With the physical release already sold out, there's only PSN left if you want to try out this chilling PSone-style tale from Japanese developer "Throw the warped code out!"

It should bring back memories of Alone in the Dark, Clock Tower, a little Silent Hill but not quite Resident Evil, depending on your age. Wonder if the dev has plans for a slightly more evolved sequel from 2000-era. They are still going, but no sign of any new games, and Back in 1995 launched back in 2016 on the PC.

Rather skinny trophy list here.
