Sony Announces New PS Portal Model with Internal Storage
Sony has announced a new black PS Portal with internal storage, launching in Japan only at the same price as the current model.
Sony has revealed a refreshed version of its PS Portal handheld, and the headline feature is internal storage, which should help future-proof the device. The new model, finished in black, launches on 10th December 2026 in Japan at a price of ¥39,980, matching the cost of the existing version. However, there is a significant catch for anyone outside Japan hoping to pick one up: this model will only be sold there, much like the Japan-specific PS5 console Sony offers.
What's Changing
The big addition is internal storage, a notable upgrade for a device that previously relied on streaming alone. Unfortunately, Push Square's report offers no further specifications, such as the exact storage capacity or what the extra space will be used for. It is also worth noting a regional quirk beyond availability: just like Sony's Japan-only PS5 console, the new PS Portal can only be set to the Japanese language. That restriction, combined with the Japan-exclusive release, means it is effectively designed purely for the domestic market.
