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 ...

Purified looking malevolently excellent on Vita

While the time of official Vita launches is over, developers are still creating some fine-looking homebrew titles, none more so than Purified. Unveiled back in the summer, developer Jocke "Balder" Häggström has broken radio silence with a festive update and a pic of boss Ripjaw. 


Check out his Twitter for more info, plus screens and videos of the latest version in action. Can't wait to see it in full, hopefully in 2022, but with no time pressure, happy to see this when the arena shooter is all done. 


Also wonder what other goodies solo devs and port crews have up their sleeves, as the Vita looks forward to moving underground in 2022. 

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
