How Sony's Q handheld device is designed to change the way a PS5 game feels
Sony’s new Q handheld
The PS5 games are set to see a new turnaround. Tokyo-headquartered technology giant Sony has announced the launch of a new handheld console during its PlayStation Showcase this week.
PlayStation head Jim Ryan said that the new device would enable the gamers to stream any game using Remote Play over Wi-Fi.
"Internally known as 'Project Q', it has an 8-inch HD screen and all of the buttons and features of the DualSense wireless controller," Ryan added.

The new console would have an LCD screen capable of running the games at up to 1080p and 60fps over Wi-Fi, Sony said.
Along with the haptic feedback of the DualSense, the console would feature adaptive triggers, meant to provide a sense of tension while performing the virtual gaming acts such as pulling on a cord.
