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.

Chiaki provides PS5 Remote Play for Vita users

Yes, I need another memory card to get this going, but if you download Chiaki you can stream PS5 games on the Vita, and can join in the Portal fun right now. Chiaki used to be used to play PS4 games on Android devices, but has been updated for other purposes. 

There's a quick video to walk you through the connection steps, but it looks pretty simple - hope to join you soon! I'm not entirely sure why I didn't hear about this sooner, but anything that brings further life to the Vita has to be welcomed! And, yes, for clarity that pic is PS4 Remote Play in action, sobs quietly! 

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
