Following the commercial success of cloud-centric handheld streaming accessories, Sony Interactive Entertainment is readying a true standalone successor to the PS Vita and PSP legacies. Codenamed Project Canis Major, this handheld device features custom AMD hardware designed to play full PS4 titles natively while functioning as a zero-latency Remote Play client for PS5 and PS6 systems.

Custom APU silicon developed under AMD's "Z2 Extreme Custom" platform provides high efficiency under a 15W TDP ceiling.

Production manifests indicate an expected MSRP targeting $399 USD, positioning it directly against modern handheld gaming PCs while retaining full integration with PlayStation Network Trophies and Cloud Saves.
