Wi-Fi Alliance documents hint at a new OLED version of the popular PS Portal handheld, fueling anticipation of an upgrade.
Today’s PlayStation news is dominated by hints of an updated version of Sony’s popular PS Portal handheld, which could be seeing an upgrade to an OLED screen. Speculation first emerged from Push Square and was further solidified by a PlayStation LifeStyle report of two unannounced Sony devices passing Wi-Fi Alliance certification. This development aligns with earlier rumors that an OLED upgrade was on the horizon. Details from the filings suggest that the release could be imminent, sparking excitement among users eager for improved visuals.
Mafia Series Expands PS5 Presence
2K Games appears to be continuing its commitment to bringing its Mafia series to current-gen platforms, with reports from Push Square suggesting that both Mafia 2: Definitive Edition and Mafia 3: Definitive Edition may soon receive native PS5 ports. This follows the release of Mafia: Definitive Edition earlier this year, which utilized the PS5’s capabilities to deliver enhanced performance and visual fidelity. The move could rekindle interest in the franchise and provide a smoother experience for newcomers and veterans alike.
Star Wars Zero Company’s Revival
More good news arrives from Bit Reactor, the team behind the well-received Star Wars Zero Company strategy game. According to Push Square, the success of the game has allowed the developer to end the furlough of some staff members. They have already started bringing back team members to continue ongoing support and possible expansions for the title. This is a heartening turn of events for the studio, suggesting a sustainable post-launch phase for the game.
Gaming Updates and Trials
PS5 players can look forward to trying out the hit multiplayer action game Arc Raiders for free. As reported by PlayStation LifeStyle, the free play period begins today, allowing users to explore the game until 12th October. The event coincides with the release of the game’s substantial Frozen Trail update, promising new content for both veterans and newcomers.
In a smaller update, Push Square noted the latest patch for Screamer, an anime racing game, which allows players to turn off the right stick drifting feature. This provides a more traditional control option for those preferring a standard racing experience.
