PS6 Portable will need patches to play well ps5 games

Revealed last week by reliable sources that have already shared details about many AMD products, the PlayStation 6 (PS6) portable prepared by Sony will not need additional codes to run PS5 games. However, titles that want to take advantage of the hardware of the new device will end up benefiting a lot from the launch of specific patches.

Who states this is the Leaker Kepler L2, which has been the largest source of information about the device so far. In Neogaf forums, he said the hardware “shares binary compatibility” with the PS5, which means he should be able to play current games without depending on developer intervention.

However, titles that do not receive this treatment may end up running badly in the portable version of PS6. Although the device must share the name with Sony’s next table console, it will have a more modest hardware – and it will be a little behind the company’s current platform in some important ways.

PS6 Portable promises to be counterpoint to the powerful console

Kepler L2 states that the PS6 portable model will be part of a new Sony strategy that, in a way, emulates the Xbox brought to the current generation. On the one hand, it intends to launch a device with more modest technical characteristics – while on the other, it supposedly prepares the most powerful hardware in its entire history.

The decision by a portable model makes sense when considering the popularity of products such as switch and Steam Deck. In addition, the format allows the company to “get a free pass” by offering a more modest hardware, but still capable of playing games considered modern – And at a more affordable price.

However, those who expect great visual jumps in the new generation can be disappointed. Questions such as machine learning and expanded ray tracing apparently are Sony’s current focus that may be preparing to deliver a new machine that will still depend a lot on upscaling to deliver acceptable performance experiences.
