Open sales will start on November 15, 2023
The first unboxing video of the PlayStation Portal game console has appeared online, showing the size of Sony’s new portable device and comparing it with Valve’s Steam Deck. There is still about a week left before open sales begin, but the Spanish YouTube channel Hobby Consolas has already published an unboxing video of the device.
Due to the embargo from Sony, the device is not turned on and is not demonstrated by the author of the video in operation, but the design can be seen in all details.
When comparing the PlayStation Portal and the Steam Deck, we see roughly the same size, despite the fact that the PlayStation Portal comes with an 8-inch display while the Steam Deck offers a 7-inch screen. In addition, Sony’s portable console is somewhat lighter than Valve’s device.
