Sony has announced a new PlayStation Portal model exclusive to Japan, which contains internal storage.
The new Midnight Black model has yet to be announced for release outside of Japan, and will not work with other region accounts. The hardware does contain all of the same features as the standard PlayStation Portal, allowing players to stream their PlayStation 5 consoles and play titles from the cloud if you have a PlayStation Plus Premium subscription, but the new internal storage is what makes it stand out from the original. However, at this time it has not been revealed what the storage will be used for.
As stated by the official PlayStation Blog article:
"In addition, in anticipation of future use for functions, the new model has added a new main unit storage. We will inform you of the functions in the future as soon as the details are decided."
While rumors of a new PlayStation Handheld have been circulating for awhile, we'll have to keep waiting to see if there is any truth to those claims, and if the new storage feature is somehow related.
For more, here is the official announcement trailer.
