Sony reveals Project Q, a handheld device for streaming PS5 games

Photo: SonySony has teased Project Q, a handheld gaming device that lets you stream PlayStation 5 games to a portable screen. The device uses Remote Play to connect to your PS5 console over Wi-Fi and play any game except for PlayStation VR2 titles. Project Q has an 8-inch LCD screen with 1080p resolution and 60Hz refresh rate, and a built-in DualSense controller with all the functions except for the touchpad, which is expected to be replaced by the touchscreen. You will need to have the PS5 games downloaded on your console to stream them, as Project Q does not support native or cloud gaming yet. Sony hasn't announced the price of Project Q, but it plans to launch it later this year.

Surface Pro X users are reporting camera issues

Many Surface Pro X users have reported camera issues this week. The cameras don’t seem to work on Microsoft’s Arm-powered tablet and reinstalling drivers don’t seem to help. The Verge reports getting the error code “0xA00F4271<MediaCaptureFailedEvent> (0x80004005)” when they tried to use the camera app.

A possible cause is an expired security certificate in Windows. Some Surface Pro X owners found a temporary fix. You can change the system date to May 22 to get the camera working again. But this could cause authentication issues for other websites and services. Microsoft has not fixed the problem yet.
