Semiconductor firm Qualcomm has expressed curiosity in working with each PlayStation and Nintendo on their handheld units.
Qualcomm’s Senior SVP, Alex Katouzian, shared this throughout Computex 2023. It wouldn’t be too stunning that they need to companion with both firm as such a deal would doubtless make folks overlook in regards to the lackluster Razer Edge, which additionally they labored on.
Nothing is ready in stone, however lots of stuff goes down, whereas Sony hasn’t correctly had a handheld because the Vita, its weird cloud gaming Mission Q could be a approach its ease again into it, and down the road might even make a correct handheld.
It’s price mentioning, although, Qualcomm would doubtless need to step up their sport in the event that they need to companion with Sony. Whereas its gaming-centric chip — Snapdragon G3x Gen1 — discovered within the Razer Edge is ok, it’s not much more highly effective than cell units, in line with Trusted Evaluations.
Some speculate that it may very well be already working with Sony on Mission Q, although we now have our doubts, there’s no actual proof to again this up. It will, nevertheless, be a greater first challenge for Qualcomm to make a brand new chip because the PS5 peripheral handheld received’t run video games natively, however relatively stream them as an alternative.
