Here is the reveal trailer for context if you missed it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PkeVRJBkIE

Project Q Details:

  • Launching later this year
  • Dedicated device enabling remote play from a PS5 console over Wi-Fi
  • 8-inch HD screen
  • All of the buttons and features of the Dual sense wireless controller
  • Will share more information in the near future
  • Rumored to be “less than $300” as speculated by Microsoft in their FTC filings

PlayStation Earbuds Details:

  • First ever PlayStation earbuds
  • Next Generation audio immersion to PS5 and PC
  • Simultaneously connection to smartphones via Bluetooth
  • New wireless technology will deliver lossless audio with low latency
  • “Outstanding” sound quality
  • Shown to come with a charging case
  • It is rumored that it will require a usb-c dongle for PS5 connection, presumably to connect over 2.4ghz wifi instead of bluetooth.

So what do we think? Are we interested in these at all?

For me, while I already have a Steam Deck and can remote play my PS5 using chiaki4deck, I mostly use it for smaller titles, as the larger spectacle games I feel deserve proper haptics, HD, and HDR. It almost feels a shame to play them on the deck in 720p. So for me, other than price, the potential inclusion of HDR is going to be what makes or breaks Project Q for me. I also have a child, so my TV is usually hogged. I’m also interested in how other earbuds and headsets will interface with Project Q. I have an Arctis 7 that I currently use, which requires a usb dongle to use with the PS5. Would it remain connected there, or to the controller?

As for the earbuds, I’m less interested. I find earbuds hurt my ears after awhile, and I don’t believe these will be cheap. I’m still looking forw
