## Key points

- Sony may have exclusive RDNA 5 access for a handheld.
- A PlayStation handheld remains unconfirmed.
- Microsoft is also reportedly developing handheld hardware.

## Summary

Digital Foundry says Sony may have a form of exclusive access to AMD’s next-generation RDNA 5 graphics for a possible PlayStation handheld. The report adds weight to speculation about Sony making a portable or hybrid console, but neither the device nor an AMD deal has been confirmed.

Digital Foundry’s Richard Leadbetter said AMD’s other known handheld chip in development, reportedly called Z3, is unlikely to use RDNA 5. Sony and AMD have worked together on Project Amethyst, linked to PSSR 2 on PS5 Pro and FSR 4.1. Microsoft is also planning handheld gaming hardware as part of Project Helix, while a previous report suggested a dockable PS6 handheld could support PS4 and PS5 games.
