Sony is launching a new version of its PlayStation Portal exclusively in Japan next month. The updated model will launch in the midnight black color option we’ve seen before, and will include “additional” internal storage for future-looking features.
It’s the additional internal storage that’s the surprise change to this particular model, which will be locked to Japanese language options and can only be used with a PlayStation account registered in Japan. Sony says the extra storage is for “future functionality” that it will announce once these features are finalized.
Sony is also renaming this particular Portal from PlayStation Portal Remote Player to PlayStation Portal Player. The name change, combined with extra internal storage, seems to suggest that this particular model might get access to streaming apps.
