The only thing I can think of is that Sony's cloud backend doesn't use PS5 hardware, and when they do then the device would be compatible for cloud gaming.

Would be cool. But at this point, what market would a device like that even serve?
Signalstar said: I've been hoping they would make something like this. They should call it the PS Stream Controller and market it as a PS5 accessory. |
Yeah cloud gaming needs to be on the cards. It's also possible that this doubles as a PS5 controller in a more integrated way than even the Vita. That could help give it an additional use case.

I just remote played virtually my entire playthrough and platinum for Fallen Order. Besides the odd snag here and there it was perfectly serviceable. The PS5 has better remote play capabilities so that alone would make it better.
And the product is clearly for your PS library on the go or away from your PS5. Neither the Steam Deck nor Switch offer that functionality.
