The tech news site Moore’s Law Is Dead recently sparked rumors about a possible handheld version of the PlayStation 6.
He recently featured an anonymous email from a game developer in a YouTube video discussing the PS5’s new low power mode. The developer said Sony wants more game creators to use the feature and has offered documentation and advice to help them implement it.
Testing in games that already have the feature, such as Demon’s Souls, shows it’s possible to run at a smooth 60 frames per second while using it. It seems the biggest way the feature saves power is by reducing the game’s resolution, which is also what the console manufacturer intended.

Some believe this release might be a way to test the waters for the widely anticipated PS6 handheld, which is becoming an open secret in the gaming world.
Even when using the power-saving mode, many games still require 100 watts of power. This is much higher than what a future portable PlayStation 6 would need to operate efficiently. A more efficient processor could potentially reduce this power consumption.
It’s unclear if Sony is encouraging developers to use low power mode for its upcoming handheld device, or because the company is focused on being environmentally friendly. Currently, there’s not enough information to say for sure which is the reason.
