UPDATE: It looks like in the next day or so, the PlayStation Portal will receive an update to allow for public WiFi sign in. Do you think the portal is worth buying?

@Sosssa90 5 дней назад

I’ve had the portal since first week launch. I normally just play casual games on it when I’m in bed or on the couch with RU-vid playing in the background. I’ve tried cod on it and it’s not my preferred way to play multiplayer type games. I do like it but my biggest gripe is the smaller thumb sticks. It’s not a crazy difference but it’s noticeable when you’re gaming

@realshadowlord 13 дней назад

Nice vid! It sounds like it has a few short-comings that the switch also had on release (like lacking bluetooth to headphones). I'm curious to see how both Nintendo and Sony improve the product even further with possible next generation versions

Backbone is there if you want to save money, but portal provides much better experience. Bigger screen, no need to assemble, won't interrupt game if I need to answer a call or use phone to check a game guide.

@martynadams754 День назад

If I could use this as a backup PS5 controller, I might be able to justify it... but as just a streaming device, I'll stick with the Deck and Chiaki4Deck, and just stop/start the stream when it starts acting up

@MahoganyBlack День назад

It’s not perfect but I love the viability of it. With the updates, especially, I can go onto any WiFi network at a hotel or whatever and I can connect to my console. I’m surprised that with a good connection, I can play my ps5 anywhere! But it’s also nice to be able to play it on my bed haha.

I am thinking about getting a portal. If I'm away from home for like 3-4 days, and I can't take the PS5. So I do i leave the PS5 on or on rest mode for the whole time that I'm away?

@Idksomethinginsane 4 дня назад

Yup, it turns your ps5 on while you’re playing. But when you’re done you can just put your ps5 in rest mode from the portal the same way you would if you were home

@jacquesm1553 3 дня назад

@Idksomethinginsane it's just annoying that I have to leave my PS5 on or on rest mode all day, until I'm ready to play. The PS5 doesnt have an automatic turn off and cannot be turned on remotely.

⁠@@KinglaQwueefayou have to go on your ps5 and go into settings then scroll down to remote play. Click that and enable the settings in that section. Once you do that you should be able to. Also I just thought about this. Are you under the impression that the portal streams from the ps5 while it’s in rest mode. But the ps5 actually turns fully on to let you stream content. Then goes back into rest mode when you disconnect the portal. (As long as you have the proper settings)

@brandonmorgan8975 21 час назад

I’ve wanted one but I don’t have the best internet, would be nice to have while I’m in the living room or at a buddies, I wanted new PSP was concerned when this was only remote play when announced because I got bad internet, but was tempted because I have a switch and love it but certain games are on Xbox and PlayStation so been 50/50

@CDubb442 7 дней назад

The GCloud is simply a better device it has the ability to run the official PlayStation remote play app what’s gonna remote play PlayStation 4 and 5 Xbox cloud gaming, and steam link. Also, it has the ability to do all media consumption. It has built-in controls and emulation up to some PlayStation 2 and all PSP 🤷🏾‍♂️ comfortably.

@MrUploader14 5 дней назад

Or for about 40 to 50 dollars cheaper than the PS portal you can go with a retroid pocket 3+. Emulate up to Gamecube and stream PS 4 and 5 games as well as xcloud and steam link since it just runs android with a skin in top. Or just save some extra money and get a base steam deck which can emulate up to Xbox 360 and switch, local gaming, ps4 & 5 streaming, Xcloud and steam link. Plus contains a full desktop computer environment

@Rome19xx 4 дня назад

I have the Portal, the Deck and a gaming phone. The Portal is the best option to play your PS five remotely and in my opinion the next best thing is AR glasses and whichever controller you prefer. You get a big screen and unmatched comfort.

@ComplexAutist 5 дней назад

I've had 2 in 48 hours, returned the first, bought another. Tempted to return, can't get it to play away from home. Apparently can use mobile hotspot to get to home network to play? But I can't get it working

@aceospades7 5 дней назад

I've been using my portal for a few months now and still love it. I only play it at home though. Another pro for using it over the backbone or any phone is that anytime you navigate away from the remote play app on the backbone, to check a text for instance, you're disconnected and have to reconnect again. One thing I wish Sony would add is some type of night mode or warm screen filter. The blue light can be a bit much when playing at night even in the dimmest setting

@Rome19xx 4 дня назад

The Portal is a CONTROLLER!!!! Name a controller with BLUE TOOTH capability.... The Portal is not meant for gaming on the go and is for exactly the situations you mentioned in this video. I wouldn't recommend using the Steamdeck outside of the home because of it's battery life and the fact that it too is fragile. AR glasses and a controller of one's choice is the way to play on the go. Cool vid though! Keep up the good work. 👍
