Recap: Playing modern high-end games on handheld devices, even with technical compromises, was considered impossible before the Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck arrived. Their success has likely inspired Sony and Microsoft: the latter plans to leverage the emerging handheld PC market, and reports indicate a handheld companion to the PlayStation 6 is in the works. A prolific leaker recently provided basic hardware specs indicating that a rumored portable companion to the PlayStation 6 is significa
