A YouTuber created the first (and very unofficial) clip. PS5 A tablet, which will allow them to play PlayStation games on the go, and is a slightly better portable device than the PlayStation Portal.
YouTuber DIY Perks stripped down the console and took the most important components from it to create an entirely new portable system. Given the size difference between the original PS5 controller and the homemade tablet, the creator also had to engineer some parts of it to make it fully functional.
You can see how this design was created step-by-step by watching the video below, but the main takeaway is that DIY Perks has managed to create a portable PS5 console with an OLED display and 4K visuals – which is pretty impressive.
One of the main things to know about this creation is that the tablet was only able to be made due to the PS5’s internal redesign, which DIY Perks claims happened between now and the console’s launch. The main reason behind this is that the new version of the console has a much smaller motherboard than the one it had when it was first launched, which means it can fit better inside a small device – the tablet.
Another major challenge for DIY Perks was finding a way to take all of the cooling equipment, which is vital to the smooth operation of your PS5, and make it fit inside the portable console. As the video shows, the YouTuber actually had to remove the unusually shaped main heatsink and replace it with one that is much smaller but has the same amount of cooling capacity as the original thing.
There are a lot of steps and challenges that the DIY Perks had to overcome before they could get the device up and running, but once they do, it’ll be pretty surreal to see them playing like Astro’s Playroom, Horizon Forbidden West, and Rocket League on a screen the size of a large iPad.
Hopefully Sony will see the video and make something similar one day in the not too distant future.
