Recent reports suggest that a dark-colored variant of the PlayStation Portal may be on the horizon. Sources indicate that Sony is preparing to unveil a black edition of the handheld gaming device soon. This information originates from a trusted data miner associated with a French blog, which has previously provided accurate insights regarding game consoles. The blog asserts that this release will coincide with a new lineup of accessories. While the exact launch date remains unspecified, there are indications that initial availability may be limited. This might result in a shortage similar to what was experienced with the original white version of the remote player during its pre-order period.

The anticipated black PlayStation Portal is set to be available in multiple regions, including:

• Europe
• North America
• Additional global markets

The pricing is expected to mirror that of the original model, remaining at $199.99 / £199.99 / €219.99.

Previously, only a white version and a special limited design for the 30th Anniversary Edition Collection have been launched. This new leak appears to be connected to a broader relaunch plan. Recent reports have also highlighted that Sony intends to introduce black variations of other accessories, such as the Pulse Elite headphones, DualSense Edge Controller, and Pulse Explore earbuds.

The unveiling of these forthcoming products is still shrouded in mystery, with no official release date disclosed yet, sources suggest that announcements regarding them will be made within the next month, and they will likely maintain the same pricing structure as their white counterparts.
