  • The PlayStation 5 goes portable... kinda. Say hello to the PlayStation Portal, a remote play dedicated device that is causing much confusion. Does it work away from home, say outside? What about with 5G? 4G? What about on another wifi connection? Let's test it out.

    A Vita cost $50 more brand new, had its own library of games, played PSP and PS1 games natively, and could stream both the PS4 and PS3. The Portal by comparison is horrid value compared to what Sony gave us before.

      It's still more worth it. Hell, steam deck is more worth it, the lcd one, if you get refurbished and best model costs 379 EUR. Which is 179 more for a device that can play everything.

      Mine is decent and far from cheap as far as Verizon is concerned. But testing remote play on pc was unplayable. Not sure if it's just a remote play thing because I actually had an incredible my similar experience with my computer connected to my phones hotstop and my home wifi. Either that or I need a stronger connection for my playstation itself but I can logistically set up a wired connection so I have no way of doing so.

      They should build a portable version of the last gen system. I think it would be sweet if they went with this timeline. Main console then slim console and when the next gen comes, a portable version of the PS4. If the steam deck can run cyberpunk 2077 at a locked 30 then I don't understand why Sony couldn't develop their own version of that.

    Personally I don't get people who just say "use your phone", I'm sorry but the last thing I want to burn the battery on is my phone. Not only do I want my phone to last the whole day but the more charge cycles I do on it the lower the lifetime of that battery becomes. The phone in my estimation is a terrible device to use for gaming, I need it to keep in touch with my family and my work, it's not for gaming.

    HUGE ADVICE!
    Currently the Portal isn't even able to downscale the resolution from your PS5. So if you left it at 4K/120Hz, then you're Portal will struggle. Any phone, tablet or PC would adjust it and so it saves the need to stream 4K to a screen that doesn't even support 4K. Make sure your PS5 is forced to 1080p, 60Hz.

    Charge half the price, considering you're getting a decent screen and the haptics of the PS5s controller but considering the limitations think of it more of a hands on switch with better handles/joysticks. It needs to be docked/connected to your PS5 to play, make it make sense. At least until the price comes down just a tad or it goes on sale and you're able to do more on it I think I'll pass as of right now. Will be enjoyable to just have my headset connected to it though, have my PS5 on TV off and still just have a blast being immersed in the haptics. Oh the imagination of what it could be.

    I’ve tried remote play on the phone/iPad before through my iPhone’s hotspot and at hotel Wi-Fi and it’s never been good. Like you though, I’ve been successful at work using the Wi-Fi there. Also, I’ve purchased an Ethernet to usb-c adapter for my iPad and made the remote play basically flawless. Good enough to play some serious games of Apex Legends. Wi-Fi has always been iffy for remote play in general, so I’m not surprised, but I have found that the portal seems to be generally better than simply using Wi-Fi on a phone with remote play.
    Also, this is a controller that costs the same as an Edge controller, it’s just another form factor. It’s a controller that you may decide is worth buying for you particular situation. For me, it’s great playing something like Elden Ring on the couch while my 4 year old kid is playing Tears of the Kingdom on the big tv.
    So far, I’m loving it, but for sure it’s not for everyone. I hope they make it better somehow though.

    This device is made for mainly the people with children and those who don't have the time or space at home to play peacefully but still want to game..... it's a niche device (for a growing niche market) and as we all get older and have kids and start dealing with real life may not have the time we'd like to game. This gives you the opportunity to play in your downtime while the kids are sleep......while you're shitting, etc. My boys all have young kids and have been using remote play on BackBone devices when we run on 2k on nights they can play after getting the kids to sleep and I'm up. What they do to combat lag issues is to turn of the 120hz and turn down the resolution of the PS5 to get a better visual and less lag on their cell phones which they use. Yes it's a niche market but Sony has realized that we all get older and have kids........I can attest to having my nephew over often who is of a young gamers age 8-14. I can't sit and play my game in peace because all you'll hear is "Can I play???" then allowing the kid to play you'll for most intents and purposes not get your game back to play it or get stuck playing shit the the kid wants to play.

    With the mobile connection, it can depend on your service provider. Their 'out of the' box set up just doesn't allow streaming from console NAT types.
    EE needed some custom network settings to get running remote play. This worked fine over 4G for me and also over 5G. That's both using my phone as a hotspot for Vita and Tablet, as well as directly on the phone using PSPlay.

Still my favorite YTer pushing 10yrs or so now!

A picture’s worth a thousand words, all of these videos are priceless. You’re a wonderful person. I hope you never stop wondering, it keeps you with something to discover.

    I actually was frustrated that ps hasn’t had a handheld in a long while.. I’m super glad it’s not a handheld that can only play games made for it.. the idea is awesome as personally playing new games on my tv gives me a huge headache. It’s so bad that I haven’t enjoyed ps5 games at all but I enjoy switch oled games a lot. I don’t know what it is really.. is it better games on one platform.. not sure. Yes you can play steam games off your iPad with a controller but I play on my laptop with not the best video card. So, I’m excited that my ps5 at least provides the ability to play these games but thought a handheld would be a great idea. However, the fact that you have to have your ps5 running in order to play? As well as a super fast connection wherever you are is a bit lackluster. No airplane mode play for airplanes.. that the magic they are missing. These are just my opinions
