Sony is launching a new PlayStation Portal Player in Midnight Black for Japan and South Korea on December 10. Priced at ¥39,980 in Japan and ₩378,000 in Korea, the device features built-in storage for future features, though Sony has not disclosed the capacity or specific use. Preorders begin November 13, and each unit includes one month of PlayStation Plus Premium.
Like the Japan-exclusive Midnight Black PS5, this model is region-locked to local accounts and language settings. The "Remote" branding has been dropped, reflecting cloud streaming capabilities independent of a PS5. The device retains its 8-inch 1080p 60 FPS LCD, haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and 3D Audio, but lacks an OLED display.
Offline play or local downloads are speculated as potential storage uses, but remain unconfirmed. No wider release has been announced.
