There’s some exciting news for PlayStation fans who have been waiting for a fresh look for the PS Portal. A well-known leaker, billbil-kun from Dealabs, has hinted that Sony is gearing up to release a new version of the PS Portal, this time in a sleek black color. Although this is just a rumor for now, the source has a solid track record of revealing Sony’s plans before they go public.
### When Can We Expect the PS Portal in Black?
Unlike some of the previous leaks, billbil-kun hasn’t been able to nail down an exact release date for the black PS Portal. What is clear, however, is that the new color option will come with the same price tag as the original white version. That white variant made its debut last year, matching the look of the standard PS5, and since then, the only other option has been the ultra-rare PlayStation 30th Anniversary model in gray.
This makes the upcoming black PS Portal quite special as it’s the first time the handheld will be offered in another standard color. The reason for the initial limited availability is a bit of a mystery, but according to the leak, Sony might replenish the stock based on how popular it turns out to be. This cautious approach could mean they’re trying to avoid producing more than necessary.
As for where you can get your hands on one, the black PS Portal is rumored to be launching globally, so there’s no need to worry about it being exclusive to certain regions. On top of that, it appears that Sony is working on other hardware and accessory releases, though details on these remain under wraps, leaving us all curious about what might come next.
