A little tip, When in the game catalogue on the PS5 console set the filter list to A - Z . This allows the complete list of games to be viewed when looking at the cloud game catalogue. (at the moment you cant change the filter list on the portal)
Loving my portal now with the update. They also fixed the micro stutter issues and the connection issues with the PS5 it is a lot stronger. It finally works as it should have still need a premium Plus subscription to take advantage of the streaming service
@@spartan0083 after you update your software, it's going to ask you if you want to use gaming streaming service and you have to turn it on then it will restart your portal and you should be good to go
Ordered mine today. It'll be here Tuesday. Unfortunately all the stores were closed because we'll Thanksgiving and all that. Thats fine those employees can enjoy their day. Got it on Amazon. I've been subbed to premium since launch so I'm good to go!
Just one important note for our great Troy. You don't need to put your PS5 back to rest mode for the portal to be able to connect to it. Turning it on is enough.
@@WhatGear Naw when it comes to the console you only supposed to turn it off when you need to unplug it. Normally you supposed to keep it in rest mode. In rest mode doing the remote play its supposed to be smart enough to know not to turn your tv on. Like it normally knows the difference when its being used for remote play or when someone is on the console. Unless there is something funky going on with your tv's hdmi cec settings
Just picked one up. As someone who owns a steam deck I think cloud streaming is a game changer. Not being hardware limited means you have a handheld that can basically play anything.
Even before the update ps portal was good because it was intended for people who have kids or wives that occupy the TV or for people who want to chill in bed and play. That’s the reason why it sold so well even before the update.
At a cost of £120 a year to essentially rent the games, and with the majority being games you'd never touch, you may as well just get a PS5 and purchase the games you want to keep.
Introducing a new PlayStation Portal inspired by the versatility of the Nintendo Switch or a dedicated gaming phone could be a significant advancement in portable gaming. This device would allow users to download games for offline play, making it an ideal companion for travelers. Imagine enjoying a seamless gaming experience on the go, similar to playing on a PSP, especially in scenarios where internet connectivity is unreliable or completely absent. Many travelers face challenges with poor mobile data service or lack of access to Wi-Fi, which makes offline gaming a highly desirable feature. A PlayStation Portal designed with these considerations in mind would not only enhance user experience but also expand the audience for portable gaming solutions.
If there was a handheld PlayStation that could play PS5 games it would only be able to download about 5 games at a time and cost $700. No one would buy it.
Great video. I bought this yesterday for my son for Christmas. I only found out about it about a month ago, didn't even know it existed, and only knew that it connected to the playstaion 5 itself. So, to find out it's just had a new updated this has made it much better. My son will love this. What would you rate the playstaion portal to all the other hand held device out there 👍🏻
It's definitely the most comfortable & I think the controllers are the best out there. It's tricky to say that it's the best handheld, as it doesn't have onboard storage. If it did, and if it could play offline...it would be a top competitor in my opinion.
@KyleGuitarLife I really hope so. The PSP back in the day was such a beast. I never actually got to own a Vita unfortunately but I head lots of good things about it. If they do release one. There's a few things they have to do. Allow it to be plugged into a big screen, like the Nintendo switch. use an OLED 120hz display. Allow for interchangeable batteries & memory. WiFi 6 connectivity & mobile SIM. And the option to pair a dual sense wirelessy when playing on TV. If they do that it will be a winner🏆
I currently do not own a PS5 and am now highly interested in purchasing the portal after watching this video, however I have a question - What if the game I want to play is not available in the ps+ subscription library? Would I be able to purchase it on the portal?
@@reahgampon9843 yes you can purchase it. Let say Fifa 25 is not included ,you just purchase it for 31€ (current price) and play it. Don't forget that you can share the game with aother person ,so the price will be 15.5€ for Fc25 😀
@reahgampon9843 as of right now I don't think so. Only the games that are available as part of the game catalogs which are technically "free" as long as you have the right subscription
Nope I just got one yesterday and I’m bummed bc I can’t play the one game I wanted to play with my kids. Which is why I got this to begin with. So I’ll either return it or buy the ps5
For me, this is just good news for me because honestly my PlayStation 4 has been on its way out and I’ve been thinking about getting a PlayStation five but at the same time I’m not rolling in dough but the portal sounds like it could be a good in between for me. I mean, normally I’m always playing around Wi-Fi either at home or when I’m going out to places that usually always have Wi-Fi anyway. So the idea of a mobile handheld that has the processing power of the PS5 is quite appealing especially now it could be a few hundred dollars cheaper. Also, the fact that I can still play a game when I have to take care of someone like my mom it would be nice for me to be able to walk away from my game consult and be able to stay near her when she need something.
Anyone else’s game catalog just simply not loading after update? Once I click beta option it says “loading game catalog”. The text saying that goes away and all I see is the blue circle with the theme playing in the background. I 100% have PlayStation premium, restarted the system and even updated my actual ps5 no luck so far with this update. Slightly disappointed
@brandonjennings18 same here. I was testing it at work with it hooked up to my phone hotspot and the catalog doesn't load. I'm hoping this is just first day jitters and it will work soon
It was working for me yesterday but now it is not showing the catalogue. I've been trying to get it to work for like the past hour or seems and I've got nothing. Even contacted support and still nothing
To those who bought the Ps portal and don’t have a ps5 console u NEED to have the psn plus premium subscription to even cloud game and it only some games
But it still relies heavily on your internet connection, right?! Meaning I wouldn't be able to play it on planes (I'm travelling a lot and i would need something which I can use on planes too). Technically I would be able to use it but the latency would be killing me.
Still think it would be better if you could play the games you own off line , just if you dont have internet while traveling and want to pass time on, 👍🏻
This is brilliant news. I’ve been wanting one but was unhappy that you couldn’t play a game on it at the same time as the PS5 is being used by another family member. This makes it the perfect stand alone device.
Does the Playstation portal include being able to have just games cartridge or not being played without the subscription or do you have to have the subscription?
I'm a long time Xbox player. There are a lot of Playstation exclusives that I wanted to play but didn't want to drop another 400 plus on a console. Now with this portal update I'll probably get it.
Tbh it's only ps5 version of games that you can stream. But there are rumors that ps1, PS2, and psp version of games are coming to ps4 and PS5 with in house emulation because the library they show on PS5 plus premium are PS3 and ps4 ports of these classic games. And the cloud streaming beta for the portal shows only ps5 versions of games can be streamed no ps4 or PS3 but with a native emulator it might make ps plus premium especially for the portal if they can also stream PS2 and PS1 games.
Im considering selling my switch and buying one of these. I bought it to play the last round of Zelda games, but I find them extremely boring. It’s just hours of running around, and the first switch is incredibly uncomfortable and awkward to hold. I use my PlayStation maybe 4-5 times a week, and don’t think I’ve picked up the switch in like 5+ months
So if I’m in Colorado & my PS5 is in Texas, can I play this? Or do I have to take my PS5 with me? Or can I use a hotspot as internet on a road trip and still play?
I've got to send my son's ps5 in to be service. That said, he's got a premium membership. If I buy a playstation portable, would we be able to log on to it while it's getting serviced?
soo you need a ps5 to play ps portal and it needs to turn on i got a ps5 on launch day soo looks like im not buying it was going to get one tomorrow bc im flying on the airplane so i can play games on the airplane but looks like i need my ps5 to be on and looks like i cant do that bc my ps5 is in the bag going on the plane with me
Weird these are sold pretty cheap in Australia ATM and i think a lot of people buy them thinking they were like a switch then on their ads say only played twice. I literally only wanted this so i can lay in bed and play next to the misses and also take it travelling, picked it up for $200 aus when its brand new $329 and i think most people selling now don't know all the new updates, unlocks and bug fixes. Definitely happy with this buy and just seen on another video the stick drift when eventually happens can be fixed without soldering 👍
Still got a big issue with it , first thing you have too play your library with the PS5 on , not in rest mode that’s disappointing, second problem the cloud gaming is only PS library not your Library, I want too play my library all over the world
I mean they made a Game boy, you could play games on it mind they were cartridges, but this portal is beautiful and slick and super fun ! Plus they should’ve been done this Netflix needs to be added as well but great video 👍🏾
Yeh, you can pause at anytime. You have to pay per month....would be could if you could pause at any time though and use up the days that you paid for later.
Quick question guys...i have a ps5 and i have games in my library and games that i have on discs and played them on my ps5.i want to play those games on my portal.can i play both types of those games?do i need a premium subscription and will be this on my account so on both ps5 and portal?thank you.
I want to get a PS5 primarily for Astro Bot and Black Ops 6. Even though I have a PC and handheld devices, I really want to play Astro Bot, and I don't see it being ported to PC anytime soon. It's December 2024, and I can purchase a 2TB PS5 Pro for $700 right now. Additionally, I would need to buy the PlayStation Portal and the games, bringing the total to around $1,000. My question is: is it worth it? I really enjoy handheld devices because I go to dialysis, and they help me pass the time while I sit in a chair for three and a half hours.
It is in beta mode so only 120 games at the moment. They did mention ps3 and ps4 games not available now but i think once they open this up its insane value for money! Cheapest way to get into a new handheld gaming with insane quality games. :).
I have a feeling they will change it up eventually. Currently with the PS+ Catalog they update it every month by adding new games and removing others. I am not sure if they have different plans for the portal but I would assume it will follow how PS+ works now.
What about the games on your Playstation will we be able to play them on the portal if it's off or do we still have to leave it on rest mode to play those
weird. i already got my portal updated to latest updates , but i dont see the beta cloud option in my settings ? do i have to subscribe to premium first to unlock the feature ?
Now it's saying " can't display the screen connected console. The screen contains content that can't be displayed using remote play" Gta5, WRC rally, etc any ideas to wtf is going on with a remote player not able to remote play? Cheers! Sorry if sound abrupt it's all brand new my ps5 and portal and just getting stressed out with it!
Question: If i play on the portal w/ cloud streaming, I cannot continue my saved game from my PS5 if my PS5 is not open/on rest mode?? Coz I want to be able to play for example my FFXIV game on portal while even my PS5 is closed, but this means I have to have my saved game on it. Sorry I'm a noob so I have lots of questions about the cloud stream gaming on the portal.
I just bought a PlayStation portal literally less than an hour ago saying this news is exciting. If I wanted to play on the go with the games on my PlayStation do I have to have my TV on while I’m not at home?
One thing I really wish, people would’ve made clear… YOU STILL NEED TO LINK TO A PS5 ON THE INETIAlL SET UP. Otherwise you won’t even get to the screen that allows you to access settings.
Hi I just purchased one of these and having trouble i tried setting it up but to my wifi and internet when I do that it it brings up my ps5 account but my ps5 doesn't work how do I play without that account I can't get pass that
@@qwertyasd6570 No, it needs to sync with your PS5 to be able to play the games you own which needs your PS5 to be on. Another down side is if you only own the disk version of games then you would need someone who is home to switch the disk out for you. But if you own digital games then you can simply download whichever game you want to play on to your PS5 from your library and play them on the Portal. But you can turn on your PS5 from anywhere in the world as long as you have internet access and your portal is synced with your PS5.
The ps portal is not a handheld device…it is a subscription device u need to have a ps5 to even play all ur game u own and if u dont have ps5 u need to have a psn plus premium subscription to cloud game without a ps5 and it not all game only some
i think if you don't own a PS5, you can only play selected games from the cloud's portal. and you need to subscribe as a PSN premium membership, in which buying the game is one thing, you'll need to pay monthly membership to stream the game you bought on your PS portal.
Here's the question though. Do I still need a PS5 to set up my portal or can I just do the set up through my phone or device? Cuz I know that it really didn't matter just to get into the device and set it up u needed a PS5 console. I heard that people who don't have a PS5 still couldn't use this because u needed one to set it up. Also Im just asking cuz I dont wanna grab one and have to go through some crap to get the device itself set up
I have a ps5 digital and I gonna leave for 6 months out of my country and I can’t take it with me. Is gonna be turn off totally I have account and ps plus I can play with portal ps5 without problems right? My connection also is gonna be very good
There's one thing i'm wondering about. If you own a game that is not on the Cloud game library, and you don't have a console to stream that game from. Is it still possible to play it through cloud gaming on the Portal?
@@WhatGearWell isn’t everything in life a ch-, eh never mind. Yes, a choice was made. Just seems a bit silly to not include the info that is arguably the other 50% of what will make this a 100% realized thing. I’ll admit it seems this info was easy enough to find on Sony’s page announcing the beta so perhaps a google search should have been first choice. Don’t mean this to be cruel, just seems important to those owning games already, which is most users.
Can I play a game I purchased without having an internet connection? I want to play on car rides or at work, is this possible? Or is the portal solely a streaming system, no offline gaming?
Sorry question, you did cover this but just wanted to triple check, you need a internet connection to play the games? Needing something to occupy me for our 14 hour plane flight. This would not be possible right?
@@SyncRecords nope. you need the internet that the plane offers since there is no signal. The games are all in the cloud so if you are in a cave or mountain without internet, it is just like a useless electronics you have. Owning (1) PS Portable will need you just a (2) premium monthly subscription and (3) internet. without the those 3, it won’t work. Suddenly missed that PSP way back.
hey, can you play simultaneously on the ps portal while cloud streaming and also with my roommate on my ps5 on a multiplayer or something with a different account?
A little tip, When in the game catalogue on the PS5 console set the filter list to A - Z . This allows the complete list of games to be viewed when looking at the cloud game catalogue. (at the moment you cant change the filter list on the portal)

I want to get a PS5 primarily for Astro Bot and Black Ops 6. Even though I have a PC and handheld devices, I really want to play Astro Bot, and I don't see it being ported to PC anytime soon. It's December 2024, and I can purchase a 2TB PS5 Pro for $700 right now. Additionally, I would need to buy the PlayStation Portal and the games, bringing the total to around $1,000.
My question is: is it worth it? I really enjoy handheld devices because I go to dialysis, and they help me pass the time while I sit in a chair for three and a half hours.
😊I can’t figure out if I can fit a PS5 where I usually play a console so hearing this is great
are the games in the catalogue permanent and will continue to grow or will they change some games in it every month?
It is in beta mode so only 120 games at the moment. They did mention ps3 and ps4 games not available now but i think once they open this up its insane value for money! Cheapest way to get into a new handheld gaming with insane quality games. :).
I have a feeling they will change it up eventually. Currently with the PS+ Catalog they update it every month by adding new games and removing others. I am not sure if they have different plans for the portal but I would assume it will follow how PS+ works now.
Currently in my region I can stream 204 games,I’m in Canada 🇨🇦
Can you run fifa? @@virtualDan
What about the games on your Playstation will we be able to play them on the portal if it's off or do we still have to leave it on rest mode to play those
weird. i already got my portal updated to latest updates , but i dont see the beta cloud option in my settings ? do i have to subscribe to premium first to unlock the feature ?
U have to pay for the psn plus premium to cloud game
Are the games you playing on the extreme library is it free or do you have to pay for them ?
Now it's saying " can't display the screen connected console. The screen contains content that can't be displayed using remote play"
Gta5, WRC rally, etc any ideas to wtf is going on with a remote player not able to remote play? Cheers! Sorry if sound abrupt it's all brand new my ps5 and portal and just getting stressed out with it!
Question. With the new update can Fortnite and marvel rivals be played on the portal without owning a ps5?
Are anyone else’s plug in headphones not working since this update? Any help appreciated please
Question: If i play on the portal w/ cloud streaming, I cannot continue my saved game from my PS5 if my PS5 is not open/on rest mode?? Coz I want to be able to play for example my FFXIV game on portal while even my PS5 is closed, but this means I have to have my saved game on it. Sorry I'm a noob so I have lots of questions about the cloud stream gaming on the portal.
I just bought a PlayStation portal literally less than an hour ago saying this news is exciting. If I wanted to play on the go with the games on my PlayStation do I have to have my TV on while I’m not at home?
@@MileHigh-gd6vf no but your PlayStation has to be on sleep mode
No everything can be off. Just make sure before you leave you set your ps5 to awaken while in restmode
@@JudahiamKngif my ps5 is off can i play my playstation games?
@@qwertyasd6570 No your PS5 needs to be in sleep mode not fully turned off for it to connect to the Portal.
Do I have to download the games on the portal or can I just go straight into the game? (I do not own a ps5)
It streams straight from the internet
One thing I really wish, people would’ve made clear… YOU STILL NEED TO LINK TO A PS5 ON THE INETIAlL SET UP. Otherwise you won’t even get to the screen that allows you to access settings.
Damn this is good to know.well no point buying then I don't have ps5
Can you create a video or guide with all the steps? And does this work anywhere in the world? It seems to go to be true.
I currently don’t own a ps5 but I have a PlayStation account with games on it , would I be able to sight into my ps account on the portal?
U need a psn plus premium subscription first to cloud game without a ps5 n it only some game for now not all
They've also announced their portable console.
Wondering if its worth ot to get this or save up for that(as someone who can't afford all the consoles)
I have the ps portal but not a ps5. While playing gta5 it will not let me join my friends session.
Does it allow you to browse the internet and go on RUclips?
I don't have a PlayStation plus for PlayStation portal
Is Madden or NBA2K on the PS portable handheld??
Can you play with someone that owns a console and invites you to a game ?
Is it just games from that catalogue you can play? Or can I download games like Fortnite or Cod and play them too?
No😢
@@average-jack do you not know how streaming works ?
@@YOUNGJBR didn't mean to say download, what I meant was can I play games that aren't in the ps premium catalogue.
Hi I just purchased one of these and having trouble i tried setting it up but to my wifi and internet when I do that it it brings up my ps5 account but my ps5 doesn't work how do I play without that account I can't get pass that
Set up a playstation account online first then log in on the Portal
@WhatGear i setup a account with a new email I created the add to the portal I purchased playstation plus but it's not add to my portal
I keep getting error after trying to load a game
hpw do the internet speed works? do it has an own mobile service? or if i go to a coffe shop ect with an average or bad wifi its impossible to use it?
hey i just got my ps portal, it says “up to date” but there is no cloud streaming menu even though i have the subscription on?
U need to have the psn plus premium subscription to cloud game
What about games you already downloaded/purchased? Or it can only be cloud stream games?
Can i play my game library without ps5 to be on?
@@qwertyasd6570 No, it needs to sync with your PS5 to be able to play the games you own which needs your PS5 to be on. Another down side is if you only own the disk version of games then you would need someone who is home to switch the disk out for you. But if you own digital games then you can simply download whichever game you want to play on to your PS5 from your library and play them on the Portal. But you can turn on your PS5 from anywhere in the world as long as you have internet access and your portal is synced with your PS5.
Can you connect more than one?
How’s the screen compared to the steam deck oled?
Please help is there a way to purchase and play god of war on the portal without owning the console? Im getting misinformation everywhere?
The ps portal is not a handheld device…it is a subscription device u need to have a ps5 to even play all ur game u own and if u dont have ps5 u need to have a psn plus premium subscription to cloud game without a ps5 and it not all game only some
Can you play 2 portals at the same time from the plus subscription?
None of that worked and can you pls make a vid on how to play on the PS5 and portle on different account at the same time pls
Can I also play purchased games?
I don't own a PS5, just a PC and an Xbox
i think if you don't own a PS5, you can only play selected games from the cloud's portal. and you need to subscribe as a PSN premium membership, in which buying the game is one thing, you'll need to pay monthly membership to stream the game you bought on your PS portal.
So if I don't have a PS5 does that mean that after purchasing this device and this subscription I will be able to play most games?
Does we can play ps games on pc with deluxe version of ps plus??
Dude thank you so much I thought I had pay for PlayStation 5 to play on it this helps a lot thank so much
Here's the question though. Do I still need a PS5 to set up my portal or can I just do the set up through my phone or device? Cuz I know that it really didn't matter just to get into the device and set it up u needed a PS5 console. I heard that people who don't have a PS5 still couldn't use this because u needed one to set it up. Also Im just asking cuz I dont wanna grab one and have to go through some crap to get the device itself set up
You would just have to create a PSN account and log into the portal with same information
@Cgarga_96 oh okie fucking awesome!!
Thats not true cause im trying to set up my ps portal without a ps5 and i cant, i do have a ps5 account and plus
I have a ps5 digital and I gonna leave for 6 months out of my country and I can’t take it with me.
Is gonna be turn off totally
I have account and ps plus
I can play with portal ps5 without problems right?
My connection also is gonna be very good
U might need ps plus premium the next tier from plus
Thank you very much appreciated. I'm thinking of getting one
There's one thing i'm wondering about.
If you own a game that is not on the Cloud game library, and you don't have a console to stream that game from. Is it still possible to play it through cloud gaming on the Portal?
Unfortunately not. If you're console is off you only have access to the game streaming library.
Why did I have to watch 8 minutes of video and scroll this far to get an answer on this
@@XX-yg8cj haha you really didn't have to ... it was really your choice
@@WhatGearWell isn’t everything in life a ch-, eh never mind. Yes, a choice was made.
Just seems a bit silly to not include the info that is arguably the other 50% of what will make this a 100% realized thing.
I’ll admit it seems this info was easy enough to find on Sony’s page announcing the beta so perhaps a google search should have been first choice. Don’t mean this to be cruel, just seems important to those owning games already, which is most users.
how is the battery life
So if I don’t own a ps5 I can still use the psp, right? Like I can use it without the ps5?
@@CinnaMuffin9 lol I guess. I’m trynna firgure out too
@ ok thx
Can I play a game I purchased without having an internet connection? I want to play on car rides or at work, is this possible? Or is the portal solely a streaming system, no offline gaming?
Streaming only, sry
Sorry question, you did cover this but just wanted to triple check, you need a internet connection to play the games? Needing something to occupy me for our 14 hour plane flight. This would not be possible right?
@@SyncRecords nope. you need the internet that the plane offers since there is no signal. The games are all in the cloud so if you are in a cave or mountain without internet, it is just like a useless electronics you have. Owning (1) PS Portable will need you just a (2) premium monthly subscription and (3) internet. without the those 3, it won’t work. Suddenly missed that PSP way back.
Why not just stream to your laptop instead?
Do you need PlayStation to update it
Do u need to already have an account or can you make one on the portal, cuz i never had anything dealing with PlayStation someone please help
So it’s useless if I don’t have a plus account
Since this the beta update, when will the official update come? Is there any word?
Hi, I just wanted to confirm if the Playstation Portal still requires a Ps5 console? I’m a bit confused. I don’t have a Ps5, but I do have a Ps4.
@@Elisezkoh u don’t need a ps5 for the start-up.u just need to pay for premium,and it’s 30% off until dec05.
hey, can you play simultaneously on the ps portal while cloud streaming and also with my roommate on my ps5 on a multiplayer or something with a different account?
@@emilioaab I’m wondering the same thing. Wanna get one for my wife, her switch can’t run Fortnite or dbd well enough.
