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.   There's a PlayStation State of Play coming up on 12th February that might act as an announcement point. Certainly, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than a 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 ...

Broken Sword collection swishes onto Evercade

 Evercade's first formal new release for 2025 has been revealed as the Broken Sword collection, bringing the first pair of the well-regarded PlayStation adventure series to the retro console platform. Revolution Software's series is now up to no. 5, with a sixth on the way - and a recent remaster of the original likely to be followed by more. 

Update: The release date for Broken Sword and Indie Collection 4 have slipped from the end of February to the 10th March. Pre-orders live on 30th January.  And pre-orders are live now!

But for Evercaders, playing the originals is what we're all about, and the platform is pretty bare when it comes to classic point-and-click adventures. Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars Reforged and Broken Sword 2: The Smoking Mirror will go a long way to rectifying that problem. 


 With gorgeous animation, epic stories and tricky puzzles, they are legendary games for good reason. 

Console cartridge no. 44 (really Evercade, no F1 racing collection in honour of Lewis Hamilton?) arrives in February, so not long to wait. And its likely the rest of the series will follow, so we can pencil those into the release list.  


And there's plenty more to look forward to this year, with Evercade's wrap-up last year promising "So I don’t say this lightly –  2025 is going to be even bigger! Whether you’re a fan of Evercade or HyperMegaTech!, our focus is on providing you with even more amazing products, surprises, and memories to treasure."
