PlayStation Portal is here! Sony's remote play handheld has been divisive since its announcement, and we're finally able to test it ahead of its launch this week. We compare the PlayStation Portal's remote play experience with streaming to a phone or the Steam Deck, demonstrate the user interface, and explain the potential and limits of this companion to the PlayStation 5.

@makasete30 10 месяцев назад

Disagree with your last point. I don’t want to game on with PlayStation games on my iPad, iPhone, PC etc and have to attach other handhelds to them. I want a separate dedicated handheld experience like the portal that is the same or mosfly better than other options with turn on option, lighter than most, better controllers and a larger screen. It’s a device for people who have kids, or have a main tv, or want to game in different parts of their house such as in bed or on the couch and have other devices but want the convenience of the portal.

@danieldietrich9969 10 месяцев назад

You can use the PS5 controller with an iPhone. That's all you need. Same controller, so don't know what you mean by "better controller", also lighter than the Portal as shown in this video. Don't understand what you mean by "turn on option" and the bigger screen is the only fair point you made in your whole post, though you could just use an iPad, though I can't understand why you don't want to. Since you said you need to connect other handhelds to them, which makes no sense since you don't have to do that, whatever that even means. This device is practically pointless.

@manillafb06 10 месяцев назад

@zamardii12 10 месяцев назад

What would be cool is if you could use the Portal as a controller for the PS5 directly connected to it just like a standard controller, but you can use the screen simultaneously to view like in-game maps, control Spotify or discord or chat on the PS5 with this device. It would be like a Wii U controller situation. I think that would be awesome.

I got one because it's perfect for my situation. I have a gaming room but sometimes I like to sit around my wife up on the couch or in the bed while she watch her cooking shows. I normally would play remote play on my laptop but this will make it a lot easier just to have one device no bunch of cables extra controller carry around it's all the one bundle. Also when I'm in those situations I don't want to be playing call of duty or anything I want to relax around my wife so this would be good because I don't have to worry about latency if I'm just playing God of war or something like that

@ginatails 10 месяцев назад

Hopefully the Portal gets cloud streaming support sometime in the future, it seems like the reason there isn't cloud streaming currently is probably because there's no Playstation cloud streaming app for Android. If it gets cloud streaming support I might actually buy it, but I could just use my Steam Deck for both remote play and cloud streaming

Only thing i dislike about it is the wifi connection seems a little buggy and you do need a internet connection for certain games. But once it gets going, its amazing.

PSA: the Portal has no web browser (as of right now) so if you’re on a public Wi-Fi network that needs you to visit their website to agree to its terms of service to access their connection (like any hotel, airport, library, etc.), this is impossible to do, according to IGN. Complete non-starter for me. Wonder if this is something that’s changed in the future

@leonthesleepy 10 месяцев назад

Hearing that the latency is the same as any other remote play app just killed any interest in this for me. I'm just not able to get a solid enough connection where latency is not an issue, even with good 50mb/s download and upload speeds. Remoteplay is always inconsistent and laggy for me and it sounds like the PS Portal is basically just a remoteplay solution with a screen and controller built in.

@sygys 10 месяцев назад

I tested remote play on 5ghz wifi with 800 mbit connection and it is still choppy and laggy at times. I was also hoping this would fix it. But I guess it doesn't so this is a pass for me too. If Im going to spend 200 bucks it atleast needs to be near perfect. It's not even close... Amazing how Sony could mess this up... Something this easy to fix

@mobisnest3205 10 месяцев назад

That's why I'm hesitant to get this, lag ruins the gameplay experience especially if you're playing on a highest difficulty in a game that requires fast input button commands, I don't want to be looking at game over screen again and again because of lag, plus for those who play online fighting or first person shooters it makes all the difference and can negatively impact your K/D ratio and or your Win/Lose stats.

If you live alone, have your own bedroom etc etc then it's maybe less needed as you can just use the TV whenever you want. Even then though it's great to watch sports, tv series on TV and lay back gaming at same time. Screen is shockingly good as well. Very happy with mine for the price.

@didibus 10 месяцев назад

I need more stream quality/latency benchmarking. For example, chiaki with HEVC and hardware decoding is much better at giving high bitrate and low latency than the official PS Play app on Windows/Android. Same for the PS Play app on Android, the stream is much better. I need to know that this has addressed those same issues, and it's not just similar to the official remote play app on Android, which isn't as good as the alternatives.

Thanks for this clear and to the point review. Just to clarify, let's say you want to use it from a hotel room, would it mean that: a) the PS5 is plugged in and in rest mode (i.e. not completely switched off) at home? b) the game you want to play is a digital version or you have to leave the game disc in the system at all times? c) the hotel's Wifi does not require a login web page to enter personal information preferences, TOS acceptance and password entry?

You would think a device that is singularly focused on remote play would have a significantly robust wifi chip, or, if this was a concept they were playing with while designing the PS5, a high bitrate direct connection between the two.

You’re never going to improve the video quality with a software update. The PS5 itself has a dedicated chip for doing max 1080p video encoding in near real time - the only way you’re ever going to see anything higher than that would be if they release a PS5 Pro with an updated video encoder chip that can handle a higher resolution, or possibly a different/better encoding algorithm.

@eternalbeing3339 10 месяцев назад

Yeah and the playstation app can display them in 1080p. Most people's phones are 1440p. So it makes no sense to use a worse screen for streaming.

This could have been the best accessory they ever released if they just allowed it to connect direct to your PS5 when at home. Digital Foundry tested it against a Wii U, a friggen Wii U and that had less input latency and no artifacts from compression because the pad has a direct connection to the console and doesn't have to go through Wifi.

@@-never-gonna-give-you-up- I suspect that the 15mbps cap is set by the PS5 and not a hardware limitation of the device. 802.11 AC devices are capable of doing 10x that in their sleep and even the most basic of 802.11AC transceivers should be capable of a sustained 400mbps without any trouble at all ‐ well beyond what is required for 'high def' streaming. I agree totally that GFN will likely never be officially supported (although it would massively boost sales of the device), I'm somewhat surprised that it doesn't support Sony's proprietary cloud streaming service from day one considering it went live last month. If Sony don't plan to implement cloud streaming whatsoever, they're seriously shooting themselves in the foot.
