New PS Portal Announced, Future-Proofed with Internal Storage and Only for Japan

Sony has announced a Japan-only PS Portal model with internal storage, suggesting the device may gain new functionality in future. The change matters because Sony has not explained what the storage will do, while the product’s new name reflects support for streaming games without a PS5.

The black model costs ¥39,980, the same as the current version, and is due in Japan on 10 December 2026, with pre-orders opening on 13 November. It is restricted to Japanese language settings and Japan-region PSN accounts, and includes one month of PS Plus Premium; Sony says more details about its future functionality are coming soon.
