With recently circulating rumors that Sony is developing a new handheld device reportedly “more powerful” than Microsoft’s Xbox Series S, it might be fun to look back at the company’s very first portable system: the PlayStation Portable (PSP). Launched in 2004, the PSP introduced gamers to a new level of portable gaming, featuring impressive graphics and a vast library of titles.
Among the standout games of its era, classics like "God of War: Chains of Olympus" and "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories" pushed the boundaries of what was possible on handheld devices. Titles such as "Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core" and "Monster Hunter Freedom Unite" gained cult followings, showcasing the PSP’s ability to deliver deep narratives and expansive worlds.
The device also offered unique multiplayer experiences, allowing friends to connect and play together on the go. As we await Sony's next move in the handheld gaming market, the legacy of the PSP and its iconic games continues to resonate with fans and gamers alike.
