Solana to Ship PSG1 Gaming Device With Crypto Wallet on Oct. 6

• Play Solana announced plans to ship its gaming-focused PSG1 console on October 6.
• The device integrates crypto wallet functionality and advanced security measures for Web3 gaming.

Cointelegraph reports that Play Solana’s leap into Web3 gaming hardware will culminate on October 6 with the launch of its first handheld gaming console, the Play Solana Gen 1 (PSG1). This marks the latest push by Solana into consumer hardware and Web3-enabled gaming ecosystems.

The PSG1 features advanced technical specifications, including an octa-core ARM processor, eight gigabytes of RAM, and a touch LCD screen. Built-in WiFi and Bluetooth provide connectivity, while its standout features include an integrated crypto hardware wallet and fingerprint authentication. These additions aim to allow users to securely manage digital assets while engaging with gaming content.

Solana’s move into gaming hardware builds upon its earlier success with blockchain-focused smartphones. In 2022, Solana Mobile launched the Saga, a crypto-compatible Android device. Following a successful debut in 2023, Saga gained traction in secondary markets partly due to bundled memecoin incentives. In 2024, Solana introduced the second-generation Seeker phone, which began shipping to 50 countries by August 2025, supported by 150,000 pre-orders.

The expansion into handheld gaming aligns with growing hardware initiatives in the Web3 space. Mysten Labs, the creator of the Sui blockchain, announced its own handheld gaming console, the SuiPlay0X1, in 2024. Scheduled for delivery during the first half of 2025, the SuiPlay0X1 underscores broader industry interest in blockchain-integrated gaming devices.

As of August 27, 2025, 15:09 UTC, Solana (SOL) is trading at $206.92, with a 7.72% change in 24-hour trading volume, according to CoinMarketCap. Sui (SUI) is trading at $3.49, reflecting a 1.26% 24-hour change.
