Sony had some new hardware to reveal during its State of Play Japan showcase on Tuesday. Along with a refreshed Japanese-only PS5 Digital Edition, the company unveiled an official PlayStation Monitor, to which you can also connect your PC. It is a 27-inch QHD display with a 240Hz refresh rate and support for HDR and variable refresh rate. However, the refresh rate is limited to 120Hz when you’re playing PS5 games.
Furthermore, the monitor has a charging hook. It folds out from behind the display and you can place your DualSense controller on it, so you’re ready to play whenever the mood strikes. The monitor will be available in the US and Japan sometime next year. Sony has not told how much it will cost.
The monitor follows the Pulse Elevate portable desktop speaker that Sony announced in September. These will work with PC, Mac, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation Portal, and are also coming in 2026.
It seems that the new hardware is part of the company’s effort to become a player in PC gaming. For example, the company recently made it possible to pair the DualSense controller with more than one device at a time, making it easier to switch connections from a PS5 to a PC and vice versa.
