Sony adds internal storage to Japan-only PlayStation Portal

Sony’s updated PlayStation Portal will go on sale in Japan on December 10, with extra internal storage reserved for features the company has yet to specify. The midnight black device will also be limited to Japanese-language settings and accounts registered in Japan.

Sony said the added storage is intended for “future functionality” and that it will announce the features once they are finalized. The company is also changing the product name from PlayStation Portal Remote Player to PlayStation Portal Player.

The changes have prompted speculation that the model could gain access to streaming apps, though Sony has not confirmed that. The current Portal does not support services such as YouTube, Disney Plus or Netflix. It is designed mainly to stream PS5 games from a console or the cloud, rather than run PlayStation games locally. Extra storage could also allow media to be synced for offline playback, but that use has not been announced.
