The revelations from Microsoft's court documents continue to captivate, revealing further surprises in Sony's plans. According to the documents, Sony is expected to launch a handheld version of the PlayStation 5, known as Project Q, later this year at a price point below $300. This portable game streaming device is designed to wirelessly connect to the PS5, enhancing the gaming experience for users on the go. 

The possibility of a PS5 Slim release wouldn't be entirely unexpected, considering Sony's track record of releasing slim versions for its previous consoles. In 2016, they launched a PlayStation 4 Slim, which replaced the standard PS4 model, and later introduced the more powerful PS4 Pro.
