Now, an official announcement is here and the PlayStation company has officially revealed the “Project Q.”

The new console, which is yet to be released, has an 8-inch screen with two DualSense controllers on the sides. An official launch date has not been confirmed, but it is said the product will be in stores at the end of the year. Eventually, more information in terms of prices and availability will be made public in later months. These are the key details that were revealed about Project Q:Â
- It has an 8-inch screen (not 4k).
