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...

Killzone Liberation liberated from PSP to PS4/5

Given that a search PSN for Killzone currently shows no results, it will be good to get a least one game back on the service. Hopefully it will feature upscaled visuals, trophies, and Killzone Liberation would make great use of the rewind feature given a player's ability to mess things up in the compact battlefields. It should also be better on a larger screen, considering how hard it could be to spot a key feature or gap in the landscape on the portable.

Note, Japanese RPG Coded Soul was briefly mentioned as another PSP game coming in June, but then dropped, definitely on the way are PS1 titles the classic Worms and Herc's Adventure. 

This and last month's additions of Pursuit Force and Syphon Filter make for a good little groundswell of games gracing PS+ Premium, and with the new Project Q for Premium users only (apparently) they'll be back on the go sometime soon.
