The PLAYSTATION PORTAL update that is changing everything..

- Who remembers the Playstation Portal? That ill fated streaming device released last year that mirrors your Playstation 5 on a portable screen.. With a catch. You still NEED to own a PS5. Lets do that math... You may have bought one and its been collecting dust since. I did. Well last week Sony dropped a firmware update that completely changes the device. CLOUD GAMING. With this new update (and a subscription to the highest tier PS Plus) you can now stream games from the cloud WITHOUT the need for a Playstation 5 console. That completely changes the value proposition...
Is it now worth it? Would I recommend it? How well do that games run and... what games are currently available?? LETS FINDOUT!

I purchased a portal a few months ago and only used it in other rooms of the house but now it's a stand alone streaming device so it's worth MORE than it's value, finally.
Do ur beta games work? I got it a week or so ago, but none of the beta games would open it would say “something went wrong” and wouldn’t launch any games. So I got rid of it and awaiting when that problem will it fixed beta is over and it’s official and all the crashes get fixed up
@@vasiliyselyuzhitskiy2811everything I’ve tried works for me except Doom Eternal. That game refuses to work
@vasiliyselyuzhitskiy2811 I'm in the UK and it's works great, I've tried about 20 games and they all worked so the problem seems to be at your end, not the beta
@@vasiliyselyuzhitskiy2811 The BETA games work flawlessly for me within my home network and also outside. Before they added the cloud streaming i had issues connecting outside of home but not anymore.
Yes maybe don’t shit on the fan base and internet qualities to start with you ass
Friendly suggestion: cut the first 3 minutes of this video and get to the heart of the matter quicker. Haven’t watched the rest of your video yet, paused to write this. Just found myself skipping forward to get past the lengthy recap. Maybe I was the only one who felt these three minutes were unnecessary so take my comment with a grain of salt. 😅
I hope he took it with a grain of salt
JABY!!!!!
Glad he didn't especially when I and others wanna know about it incase we plan on getting one. That'd be like doing a commentary or let's say a movie review but leaving out the first 30 minutes.
“Only I exist, and only the information I need is valuable.”
As someone considering purchase, the context is valuable.
I will never watch this guy again. Dull as fu’;
But the gag is you need Wi-Fi just to play the games. As soon as you are able to download stuff from
The cloud and play it on the portal. Then it’s gonna be changed.
But to have to keep playing on Wi-Fi constantly that’s a real crappy situation. We should be able to buy the game one time for PlayStation and be able to play it on the PS5 or the portal
I'm pretty they plan on you being able to stream games that you have bought digitally too.
Downloading games to play on portal is never gonna happen, but I also hear they're working on a standalone handheld
It would have to be a completely new device. There’s no way for storage let alone a cooling fan powerful enough for downloaded games.
In-game purchases and monthly or yearly subscription fees is turning video games into a rich man's game, and excluding a huge portion of the video game community.
It’s not actually, millions of PS plus and Gamepass users. Gaming was never a cheap hobby and it never will be.
If you want cheap gaming you can always buy an old used phone for $30 and play your Free Fire on it.🎉
$20 x 12 = $240 annually, that's 4 new games, it costs money either way. I rather wait for the games to be discounted or Free with PSN than pay for each one individually.
Poor guy here and its not that bad buy the year save a little money and get tons of great games you dont need to download to play @ThatShiGuy
wow its almost like you need money to do things
... Though I must say having the Time Splitters collection on a handheld is enticing!
I love it! I worried about lag. There is no lag! There are 0 issues.
What i notice people are not saying is, That some of these other pro controllers like the Razer wolverine V2 and Duel Sense edge are $50 more expensive than the PlayStation Portal And they can't stream Games! The Portal has alot of potential if i just got one and the cloud gaming works great. But the Portal can also Double as a Multiplayer screen with local multiplayer games and you can use Multiple Portals On the same PS5 for party games, its a solid device 👍
I travel a lot and my Portal is priceless! This new feature makes it even cooler. Lets me play my PS5 anywhere I go in fantastic quality. Best bang for buck I’ve gotten in a long time.
I feel like this is sonys experiment to see if they can offer basically the same thing as a steam deck. All they really have to do is focus on internal storage and cooling. They will likely make it 100% all digital though. A new traditional handheld would be awesome, but I see them doing a steam deck variant instead personally.
Personally, I'm getting one Friday because I dont have a 4k tv for a ps5, as mine never broke lol. That being said, I'd love to play ps5 games and already payed for that subscription for psn. And just doom eternal on a handheld sounds awesome with a playstation controller setup
Man i hope to get a Playstation portel or steam deck oh and great video (wow i got noticed COOL)
Thanks!
I'd rather buy the steam deck. Just download the games you own. My wifi sucks and I can't stream with remote play.
I think if you guys keep buying into all these in-game purchases and monthly fees, you're going to price yourselves out of the video game world. As long as you keep paying them, they'll keep raising prices.
I got the anniversary edition so I could play my games off my ps5 but I'm so stoked to find out I can stream games instead of having the PS5 on rest mode all the time. But I think it's more evidence of Sony moving us away from physical copies of games.
We really gonna go back to the mini-discs they used or something? Lmao. It's a handheld buddy, this isn't "moving away from physical"
I mean, the PS5 Pro has no disk drive from out the box and this ps portal can only play games from your PS5 or to stream so my belief will be, as from the PS6 we won't be able to play physical copies of games. It's just a hunch. You cannot expect cds to last 50 years when you can get 100 times the data on a micro memory card.
That might be the selling point I’ve been waiting for. Both for the Portal, and the PS+ tier I’ve been eyeballing for Twisted Metal local multiplayer once again.
Not related at all, but I was hoping you (and DrMod) could do a video on how to enjoy the old rock band games. I tried recently with my kids and was disappointed to see more than half my song list wiped out due to licensing issues.
Unfortunately there is no good way to do this anymore. Unless the song you want was installed on a disc or physical copy it’s likely lost to time.
Wish it can be played on an airplane or cruise ship for travel like a switch. Would make the 10000% worth it
IDK if you saw this or not, but it was reported that Sony is actually in the early stages of development for a handheld PS5 now.
I see the portal running all your old digital games soon, it already has ps1 games, only a matter of time before they add more.
Mine was collecting dust until I heard all the rave. I upgraded my ps plus tier over BF sale and fired up the portal.
I think its a bit over hyped, you are still tied down to specific games and I wasnt able to find one that peaked my mobile gaming interest.
A better situation would be if I was able to play my digitally purchased games. Then the portal would be closer to relevance.
Love your teen wolf top you are wearing
Can't wait to get me one, thanks tofer
@ Sony Add a small hdd external pack to the usb charge port, let us download, play native.
This decide has no processing power so unfortunately that wouldn’t be possible. BUT, I think this is what we will see with future devices
Just make a dock with a gpu and ssd et voilà!
Need to do some “Real World” test.
Go to a coffee shop or a McDonalds….some place with Public WiFi and stream a game.
Performing a test in a closed environment that has Private WiFi is child’s play.
Real World test are places with Public WiFi access and Firewall rules in place
captive portals aren’t supported, so you might be sol in a macdonalds
I connect mine to my samsung fold any where and its awesome
Check out TheGameFather’s RUclips videos
#42 Scott Howard, Go Beavers!!
When it gets hundreds of more games, it will be worth it. To be honest it needs access to the whole library
Vita 2 with shoulder buttons. "PSV II"
So i can go buy this right now and pay for play station plus premium and have wifi
So i dont need a ps5?
EXACTLY like hold on! So basically make an Ps account and pay for the highest tier, buy this thing, and boom we're set to game all those cloud games? Is it that easy? Other videos SPECIFICALLY said that you needed to link the Portal to YOUR ps5 bro? WHAT. Even when i google this it says that u need a ps5 for this mf to work
That was the case, but as the video says it's just been updated so that you don't need a ps5 @@thomsonsalimon4129
Yup
@@thomsonsalimon4129only like 100 something games though not the whole plus catalog
@@juanmarley5690 yup as in we don't need a ps5??
Docking mode and bypass the ps5 altogether. Stadia reborn with a Nintendo Switch twist.
Good systems, but cloud stream doesn’t work in the Caribbean.
God bless the vita. I have the original oled and i still play it
It will take off and appeal to me if it's playable without WiFi and works via cellular
It does if you have good enough 5g
This dude has all the checkpoints checked for ultimate hipster
😂😂
*cries in Australian*
While the new update is good I think it’s only for people who don’t understand remote play.
All of those games you can download to your console and play with the original portal for a better experience 99/100 times. And you wouldn’t even need the highest subscription.
People who think this elevated the portal by a grand margin are just ignorant
I’ve been plying mines and it’s faster than remote play!!
It did exactly what it was advertised to do, yet idiots were shocked when it wasn't more.
Only game that's given me problems is Diablo 2 .
Can sony hurry up and add more games. I wanna play Metal Gear Solid on the portal
Ya...and you can play xbox on anything,stream your xbox on anything...been doing it for a few years now
PS has had remote play and streaming of games since the PS3... This is not new to PS either...
@@divisive_gaming4488Yep, Iv been streaming the PS cloud catalogue to my steam deck for about 2 years
The portal does nothing the steam deck can’t do. Even better the portal is on beta so the steam deck has access to about 3 times as many games!
I seriously highly doubt we will ever get another stand alone handheld from Playstation ever again and here's why if the portal does good for them they'll most likely keep the monthly/yearly subscription wifi required in order to play games because hey its money and yall bought it haha and if it does poorly in sales they won't attempt another Vita situation it's just that simple as we are moving into an all digital gaming era
lol won’t lie this situation is already sounding very demonic of the vita- especially only allowing access if you have the highest tier of plus. I’m like meh.
It's really cool stuff.
But u can do it the same with the tablet + emulator.
Still will would buy it😂😂😂
Im losing patience with Sony
I dont want to see a PS switch nor a any streaming device. I want a no wifi device. I want native games that can be saved on an SD card. Not some Sony proprietary BS memory card!.
Like a dragon: ishin! Is a fantastic game
Is cloud streaming available for mobile phones?
Is it light? How’s the battery life?
It’s very light. And because there really isn’t any hardware side processing going on battery life is really good
Mine works for 5 hours and Takes about 50 mins to charge with a 3w usb-c charger
@@virtualDan 5 hours is pretty good in my opinion. Thank you for your feedback on it!
@@tofer.A thank you brother 🤜🏽🤛🏽
Microsoft already did I it’s the backbone
Why doesn't Australia get this update!???
I'd nearly sell my ps5 slim and pick Ione up 😂.
I will wait for ps5 library I will pay 800 for a portable ps5 like the steam deck
Everything else works perfectly
NCAA 25?!
Just got mine a week ago
Im Not into this.. No WiFi.. The Machine is Useless.. Even the Steamdeck can be played offline. Nope... Im Good.
Do you have to have internet to use cloud streaming?
Not if you're in a plane with an openable window.
Unless you don't live in the US or any of the unsupported countries for PS Cloud Services. Yeah?
I want to buy it but I don't have a PS5
Don't matter buy it for $199.99 and buy ps plus monthly
No longer need a ps5. All you need is the system and a subscription
Or even better, get a steam deck and have the full PS cloud gaming collection instead of the restricted beta titles on the portal
No, it doesn't change anything...
Wow. The 1,007th video about the PS Portal from yet another late influencer. How original. 😅
A "ranDu"m thawt 🤔 💭... based upon the game listed, once they add sport games, especially the most popular ones, Madden n 2K, along with others, it'll really pick up in sales. Even if they kept it a streaming device, it could pan out well, till they figure out the next stand alone hand job device... 😆 🤣 😂
Got it the day it dropped and it wouldn’t stay connected so a whole year it was a waste for me. It plays better now streaming but connecting to my ps5 it disconnects I don’t know how to fix that
Probably router or internet,mine works flawlessly!
If that thing has enough RAM in it to preload these games, in order for them to play without lag or latency, then they planned this from the start...
I don't think it has any RAM does it? Not for playing games anyway. It doesn't play them itself. It just streams them.
Is Fortnite up there??
Yea but what kind of wifi do I need to stream reliability?
The recommended speed for 1080p 60fps, is a solid 15Mbps. So I would say have at least twice that on a fairly uncongested network to have a good connection.
Big money 💰 games are nice 😂 hey kid's 👋 😏 😎 👌
Is fifa 25 available on it?
Can you play gta online on cloud streaming
Yes
Try re2 re3 gta5 online because none of those will run for me
Is grand trusimo 7 on there
I’m jus waiting for an actual handheld u can actually play in the go Sony knows damn well what we want the fact that u need a ps5 to even play is wack it’s an accessory not a handheld they kno ppl will buy the portal an not the 5
They need to add cod Asap.
Fortnite?
I'll stick to my $60 Backbone, thank you.
Portal is better,haptics feedback and adaptive triggers and lighter than backbone with a cellphone.
PlayStation Portal, Steam Deck for dummies.
You must be fun at parties.
This whole topic has you down in the dumps (you have replied like 3 or 4 times). Maybe you should lay off the Internet for a while.
Crazy how this $200 device (that keeps getting better for the price) has you so deep in your feelings. Maybe gaming isn't a hobby for you. Or maybe just stay off Sony topics if they make you so mad, lol...
He raises a very valid point though. The steam deck is a gaming PC handheld which can also stream games from your PS5 and can also play the PS cloud streaming catalogue. The steam deck actually has access to the entire library, not the restricted beta titles currently on the PS portal. What you getting so but hurt about, the PS portal literally is currently a steam deck for dummies
Just watched 10 min of this shit to find out something we’ve all known for like 6 months now
Considering the update released 2 weeks ago I think you need to watch the video with the volume on next time 🤦🏻♂️
@ considering this has been in beta and available for months you should probably know wtf your taking about
@@vincentfaust5288 So you’ve been streaming the PS cloud catalogue for 6 months on your portal?
Still looks a little laggy
Im sick of Playstation and their money grabs
Don’t buy it. It’s simple.
@@Broadwayj370❤
It’s all perspective. Same could be said about video games in general.
............ Nevermind. You would think Sony took their girlfriend's or something... Jesus, stop letting a corporation control your emotions like this..
