PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

But from a gameplay perspective, there is - IMO - no need for a PlayStation 6 for another few years. Especially with the limp Xbox is-it-isn't-it launch .  April 2026 Update:  Compatibility with PS5 and PS4 games seems to be locked-in, as anything the PS6 full fat hardware the portable versions should be able to do as well, with near-invisible trade-offs at the silicon level.  Prices are firming up too with estimates around the PlayStation 6 handheld at between $500 to $700 and a PlayStation 6 at $700 to $1,000, depending on the deepening silicon crisis and Sony's budgeting wizards.  Only a few developers around the world could afford to take advantage of it for AAA+ budget games.

Habroxia 2 blasts the Vita in February 2021

This time, humanity sends scout ships to a star system that was responsible for a massive attack. When one pilot doesn't come back, his daughter is off to the rescue.

Release hits PS4 and Vita on 2nd February 2021, and the launch trailer really makes my want to hibernate all winter. A physical edition is also on the way, with pre-orders opening on December 3, 2020 (10am ET / 4pm UK / 11pm Hong Kong) at Playasia.
