That’s exactly what I wanted !! Imagine running Warzone on a plane if possible on a handheld PlayStation!

lol that’s the exact reason I came to watch this video. To see if I’ll be able to play on my 13hr flight to Japan

Steamdeck is the answer. Sony aint making another psp unfortunately😢.

After the failure of the Vita they ain’t doing that shit again

This is what i needed to hear. I got myself an OLED, its wrapped in the closet waiting for christmas and i got it for THIS very reason. As a working dad its hard to sit at my ps5 or pc for more than 2-3 hours a week. I cant wait to unwrap it

Have you tried playing it away from your home? Like at a friend or relative’s house?

@@NJ1315-vn2xlI have, took it by my sisters for thanksgiving while the kids ran around I played some baldurs gate and assassins creed. Initial connection took 2 tries but after that no issues at all

@@NJ1315-vn2xlit only works if your connected to your home Wi-Fi so probably wouldn’t work

If your playing that many hours then this device wasn’t made for you. This was made for people with gf/wife and/or kids who have limited time and resources to play

​@BlackBone426 if he's playing it for that long then it was obviously made for him. What are you even talking about?

So is my phone

@@sammyperales3645 as far as what. It plays the games you have on your ps5.

​@@sammyperales3645 it's a fancy version of remote play the games work just like they work on your ps5 if you were to go to screen while your on portal your character would still be moving like you were there controlling it its just nice to switch rooms or let others use the TV while portaling lol

That seems like a glaring mistake in the video.

100%, remote play sucked for me until I ditched my isp’s router and got an open box ASUS router on Amazon for cheap. So much better now

@@gradeA50 awesome!

Yeah but at the end of the day we want a portable. I’d be shocked if we don’t get one by like 2026 because of how well this little lcd cheap screen with a controller streaming on your own WiFi and ps5. In this hypothetical ps vita 2 you could have this streaming feature with being able to play ps4/ps5 on a plane or place without good WiFi.

@@ayourmum8521 Imagine a new Vita. Keep dreaming. I am gonna link mine to my ps3, best handheld.

Just stream to you phone. Same experience without paying more

The Vita was ahead of its time 😭

​@relzoid4128 I really think it's kinda more of a fancy accessory I guess 😂...I just like being able to take it all over rhe house and let others use the TV and still play ps5... basically ya I wish I could take it everywhere but it's quite large and that isn't how it was ever marketed to be used anyways

​@@edisjd have you tried not posting this to all the comments and just let people enjoy something they bought?

This device doesn’t work as it should be

Yeah. As a dad of two toddler boys. I’m on the fence about this. The fact that it’s just a big remote play accessory bothers me. I don’t believe my WiFi will be reliable enough.

Have you tried an ipad/tablet with remote play app and a ps4/5 controller?

@@edisjdthe latency is the biggest issue. Not as good as this.

Its not too bad, I use remote play with ps5 controller and iPad. It's not exactly seemless but does the job for me while I'm not at home

@@edisjd I have not. I am still finding the device incredible and report zero issues. My internet is Fibre 1GB so if you have similar internet, I would expect great performance.

I can get mine to connect to the hot spot but I can’t get it to connect to ps5

Facts!

Have you tried an ipad/tablet with remote play app and a ps4/5 controller? Works just the same

​@edisjd This is much cheaper option.

Hey so I Am confused Can I use this away From home like a Nintendo switch with my ps5 off? Or does it need to be in rest mode?

@@mathewtorres687 no your PS5 has to be in rest mode that way when you turn on the portal it’s going to automatically look for the console your linked to then connect to it. And you have to be on WiFi on the portal In order to turn on the console.

Have you tried an ipad/tablet with remote play app and a ps4/5 controller?

Do it. It's a very EASY experience. Sure you can use your phone. But the portal just makes it easier. The device is literally just made to remote play . When you reach to grab it you know exactly what it's for and that you're about to play your PS5 games.

@@edisjdbro remote play lags period portal or iPad/ phone set up it’s all the same the problem is the LAGGING

Supa dupa jelly of you sir 😅 😢 Got the ps5 day one . Same with the psvr2. This one slept under the radar. I remember them announcing it months back. But little to no advertising didn't help..That being said, if Sony Direct comes thru, I'll most def scoop one for me and my nephew before xmas 🤔 But I'm guessing it'll be after. I'm not going through the living hell of online shopping on psn around the holidays if i dont have to ever again. Still have ptsd from 3 years ago Str8 MADness 💀 ☠️

Pixel phones can share Wi-Fi with the hotspot connection. Not sure about iPhones or Samsung

It's very easy to hook up to any device that has Mobile hotspot. This guy doesn't own one. Just talking out of his ass. I was using mine in the breakroom at work yesterday. And it works awesome since I'm hardwired at home. Cat8 Baby!!

Well don’t try and play it on public WiFi 😂😂

Does it really though? If you check out digital foundry’s in depth analysis the Wii u did it better 10 years ago 😆

That's the thing tho isn't it, it's designed to do almost nothing. No web browser, no PS+ streaming, no freaking Bluetooth! A cheap android tablet is a better buy because you can still do the remote play streaming thing with the dualshock 5 you already have, plus you have all that other functionality

​@@tagg8233and? It's designed to stream ps5 and it did it. So?

Exactly it’s only designed to do one thing that is free on other devices. It’s such a waste of

​@@tagg8233my dude in 2005 the PSP that launched what the 4.3 in screen and a 480 x 272 resolution. Look up inflation from then to now it averages to about 2.56% per year which doing the math would bring something like that at around $392 with all the capabilities that everybody wants.. I get it I'm one of those people but up I'm also realistic to know that at that price I probably wouldn't be getting one. And it would most likely be 425 to 450 because now you have almost double the size and a 1080p resolution, not to mention a replicates The abilities that the dual sense has. That would put this thing in the same price range as it steam deck and probably around the same price range as when the switch 2 comes out next year.. If you were Sony would you want to compete with them after the last time you came out with something Nintendo whoop that ass.. Does it have that capabilities that we all want no is it a reasonable price and does it do the simple function that it needs to do Yes.. they came out within the last two weeks and said they plan an integrate cloud gaming. This thing is not for everybody people are complaining and it's $200 if you drink a $5 cup of coffee five days a week that's a month and a half of your ass not drinking coffee. You give people what they want is going to be a shitload of people still complaining about the price You're not going to appease everybody but what they can do is undercut their competitors like Nintendo and the steam Deck and all those other handhelds.. Wasn't trying to make this long I'm just saying man people need to think out the box.. with all that being said they assholes for not adding Bluetooth

Very good point

It’s so stupid tbh

Very good point. Could be a cost saving reason or perhaps they didn’t have enough time to implement and push that design/testing through for release. Not all usb c flavor is the same so I don’t think they can push out a software update for this feature request since the portal usb c only do power and no video/bluetooth out. But I do agree with u that they could/should have borrowed the psvr2’s usb c protocol to future proof this feature. My only future request is for them to allow custom button remapping on the portal. Currently the custom button mapping on the ps5 appeared to only work with the dual sense controllers and not the portal buttons (I tried). So hopefully they update this on the ps5 system or in the portal’s setting page since I don’t see that option either in the portal. Crossing fingers.

Money

USB C can’t transfer network

@@SikhFPV technically it can, like how you can tether your phone to your computer to use your mobile data. But the way I imagined it, they would just need to transfer controller inputs and a 1080P image, a much lower requirement than the 2000 x 2040 x2 used for the PSVR2

@@SikhFPV of course usb c can, why else would u see usb c Ethernet or Nintendo switch docks. The Portal usb c indeed only for power in this scenario but usb c in general can. Let’s reduce spreading of false inaccurate info

You answered one of my questions, distance. Don't know if you can answer my other, but are you able to play different games if you have the disk version or are you only able to play what's in your PS5 at home?

​@@Shablue1I believe you can only play whatever disk is physically in the ps5, plus any downloaded games

@@kieranmorgan1211 yes you're correct

Your comment on distance solidified my choice to buy. Thank you!

@@hammo4168 distance doesn't matter, only having good wifi does. There are videos of people using remote play in entirely different countries. Just make sure your PS5 is always on rest mode and not off

Exactly that’s what my comment mentions, if the analogue sticks were replaceable it would be pretty solid

Update!

@@Bad4bizbrad oh I got it lol 😂 and I love it lol my Wi-Fi kinda sucks but when it’s working great I love playing it & helps me when my wife wants to watch living room tv & I want to play games

Same bro! I didn’t even know that I wanted it until now! This would allow me to get more gaming in more often. I think I might have to cop this.

This is literally paying $200 for the exact experience any tablet and controller can provide. It has nothing to do with an actual portable, otherwise this would have been it

You can definitely do that but your gameplay won’t be near as good as the portal. Any other device you stream it off of will have network traffic from other apps and will increase your game delay. Ps portal is made to stream and stream only.

@@thebobo0167 I don’t disagree. It might be the way to go for many, just not for me, since I’d very rarely have to use it. Also, in my experience, it wasn’t that bad on the iPad, I could clear a whole area in Bloodborne (I guess it’s obvious why this as an example) with no issues and it was a mediocre internet connection. But still, it’d be amazing if they could make it work without the PS5. One connection, less power consumption, no pairing. 🤩

Jeez man your hard pushed 🤧 must take all of 3 seconds to take it off……….

This is such a brain-dead comment. The vita was a dedicated handheld device just like a switch and steam deck. It had its games, no need for an internet connection, hd Bluetooth support, dedicated wi-fi and can actually be more portable than this big tablet. The portal is just very inferior to the old Sony classics like PSP and psvita smh.

@relzoid4128 Literally how

@relzoid4128 You seem to be getting caught up in some weird details lol. It was the first I saw, not the first ever, and the distinction is irrelevant. It literally looks like a controller - any assumption of it being a console is an assumption on the user's part, especially with Sony only referring to it as a way to access your PS5. As for it's usefulness, that's going to be dependent on circumstances. For some, it may be useless, for others like myself, it's been absolutely invaluable

@relzoid4128 To answer the question, for the portability. During your rant, I was playing on it before I went to sleep. Without it, I wouldn't have gotten the chance because my PS5 is in another city atm. "Well just use your phone!" Then you don't have the controller aspect of it, nor the screen size, but I mean, have fun tearing your phone case off everytime you want to play something, only for your phone battery to evaporate after a mediocre play session.

@relzoid4128 Bro it's literally a controller, that's the point you're missing

@relzoid4128 Exactly the price of the Dualsense edge, yes, just swapped the pro-controller features for a screen. It's not hard, if you take more than 2 seconds to think about it instead of spazing out because someone likes an option you don't

Nah because technically the portal is not its own console. It relies on connecting to a ps5 kinda like a stream

Does the ps5 have to be switched on everytime you want to play ?

Ewww I hated the backbone controls. I’m loving the portal tho.

I’ve seen the exact opposite from other reviewers. So that means it works for some and not for others. It’s a gamble.

@@HdezJorge13 it’s not a gamble, and how it works is not a mystery. Sony provides the Remote Play network requirements in plain English. The Portal can have as low as 30 millisecond latency, but if you’re network has 100ms ping then that’s what you’ll get on the Portal. Sony says you need 15Mbps bandwidth both ways to get 1080/60 video. If you’re network has

@@blueridge8992 I’m sorry but I’ve played using Remote Play and the experience has never impressed me. And I have gigabit. So it’s just that with a bigger screen? I’ll pass. Remote play isn’t that great to buy a device for. But to each their own.

it has no storage, no way to expand storage, and it has a weak mobile cpu. Probably can't do much with it

@@RuneMambathere is always some memory. That’s where the OS is stored.

@@drink15 yeah, i just meant that its very limited. Just enough to make it run.

Not just this but have their ps5 hardlined is essential

Internet only matters if you are playing away from home. At home it’s your local area network. You can have dial up, but if you’re at home it doesn’t matter . I have crappy internet from att, but my portal runs flawlessly at home.

This is primarily a LAN device, not a WAN device.

I don’t of a phone with a 8” screen.

Yall love comparing apples to oranges

Dang, didn’t think of this dynamic. So true.

Absolutely. However, the great part is that there's really no issue w/them being able to allow the Portal to do it and Sony has already stated that it is something they are looking into for the Portal. They just wanted to make sure both experiences were good to go and it's just a matter of utilizing the servers for both remote play and cloud streaming.

You can do that on any PC though for free

@@DriIfty your PC is not conveniently also a dual sense controller you can carry around without anything else though, is it? This is really just about comfortability and convenience. It's that simple. A PC is not that convenient and it's not very portable either. Even a laptop isn't as convenient or as easily portable. You'd still need to carry a Dual Sense controller with you as well as the laptop or tablet. That's fine if you want to do that, but it's easier to just carry one device.

@@rocky047586 A Steam Deck or an Asus ROG Ally, literally any PC portable can do it

Apparently it is. Sold out. At least Sony tries something, unlike Xbox. Same controller, no vr. Maybe Xbox will do a poll like they did with the controller asking if xbots wanted a dual sense copy.

Whatever you say, old man.

That's actually very rare, maybe in your area it's common, but most folks definitely do not get a gigabyte

@@scottyee707 If you have a modern-ish home router, it already has gigabit LAN speeds. LAN speed is not the same as WAN speed. WAN is what you pay to your ISP but this speed os 100% out of the picture whenever you are using the device in the same LAN as you PS5, by default LAN speeds are symmetrical.
