Sony has announced a new PlayStation Portal model featuring internal storage, a black design, and support for future functionality, with the updated device launching exclusively in Japan on December 10, 2026.
The new model will cost ¥39,980, matching the price of the existing PlayStation Portal in Japan.
However, it comes with several notable differences, including regional restrictions and an updated product name.
New PS Portal Includes Internal Storage
Prema official Japanese PlayStation Blog, the new model includes internal storage intended for future functionality.
Sony has not explained how much storage is included or what features it will support, promising additional details at a later date.
The updated device also features a black finish and is restricted to Japanese-language settings and Japanese PlayStation Network accounts.
Additionally, Sony is changing the product name from PlayStation Portal Remote Player to PlayStation Portal Player, reflecting its expanded cloud streaming capabilities beyond traditional PS5 Remote Play.
Japan-Exclusive Release Confirmed for December
Pre-orders for the new PlayStation Portal begin on November 13, with the official Japanese launch scheduled for December 10, 2026.
The device will also include one month of PlayStation Plus Premium, allowing eligible users to access supported cloud streaming features.
Sony has not announced whether this revised model will become available outside Japan.
For now, the purpose of its internal storage remains the biggest unanswered question.
