According to user KeplerL2 on NeoGaf, who has had accurate Sony info in the past, an OLED version of the PlayStation Portal is set to release in 2026. In theory, this would allow games to look better than ever before on the Portal, as OLED screens are of a higher quality than LCD, which is what the Portal currently features. Still, the visual quality of games on PlayStation Portal is often most reliant on the internet connection that one has while playing. As such, even if the OLED screen were present, there’s no guarantee that games would look drastically better if they were still streaming to the handheld at a low fidelity.
Further details on what this new version of the PlayStation Portal might include weren’t mentioned. There’s a chance that Sony could look to also improve the internals of the handheld as well, specifically when it comes to its WiFi capabilities. This would potentially allow games to stream at a higher fidelity more consistently and would resolve one of the biggest issues that many continue to have with the streaming device.
