Portable gaming refers to playing video games on a handheld device or portable console that is designed for easy transport and use outside of traditional home settings. These devices are often lightweight, compact, and have long battery life, making them ideal for playing games while traveling, commuting, or in other situations where a full-sized gaming system may not be practical. Portable gaming has become increasingly popular with the development of advanced handheld consoles such as Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation Vita and mobile devices that can run various game titles.
