Will Project Q have an SSD and Offline Play?

Currently, there is no information regarding the constitution of Project Q with the exception of its 8-inch LCD screen and the way the handheld device will have all the functions currently present in the DualSense controller.

With that said, taking into account that the Project Q will be a dedicated device focused on allowing players to stream the compatible games installed on their PS5s while using Remote Play over Wifi2, it is clear that you will need to be online and in the proximity of your console at all times in order to use it. Gameplay-wise, Sony revealed that the handheld device will stream titles at 1080p/60fps.
