Thanks for the review. Dad of 4 here. I’m totally getting it. By the time the day is over, I just need to retreat to my bed, and be beside my wife. PS5 console at the hall. Now I can play my favourite titles on the comfort of my bed in my room while feel the warmth from my wife while she read her fav book beside me.

I just bought one over the weekend and it has been a huge surprise for me. I'm a parent, and I was able to move into spaces where my kids were playing and could be with them while they played or watched a video and I was free to play, put it down when needed, and pickup when ready again. Maybe its just niche and if thats not you, keep moving.

Its so weird to me that some people have this immense hatred for this thing. If you don't want it, dont get it. Simple as that really. I think its a great device and is a really convenient way to play your PS5 games if you're travelling or your partner/kids are using the TV. I got one because my game lounge is downstairs but I don't like being away from my wife and dogs. The portal allows me to be around my family and also play some games. Its a win win for everyone in the house.

So I’ve had a steam deck quite some time and then a steam deck oled recently. I couldn’t see the point of a ps portal despite owning and playing a lot of games on the ps5. I used the remote play app on steam deck and it seemed perfectly fine. Out of curiosity I bought a ps portal and you know what. It’s better for playing ps5 games than the deck. The controller is a clone of the normal dual sense with adaptive triggers and the same rumble. I feel like the screen even seems clearer for text. Complete suprise but I’ve been using the portal more than the deck playing ff7 rebirth and helldivers 2. Shocked myself but completely sold on it. Such a Good price point too.

I’m not really sure why so many of these gamers out here are upset it’s not a handheld? Then again I am a father of two and it’s perfect for what I need. The problem with a handheld, by todays standards, is that everyone will want to play online and on the go it will either require a downgrade in graphics in order to work well wirelessly or it will lag like a mofo. With that in mind I’m not sure how, had it been a handheld, then what fun is playing a choppy lag? That’s just my two cents that no one asked for lol. 😂

originally i thought the idea of having to own a playstation to even use it instead of it being a true handheld gaming device but the more i thought about it the more well....non issue it became think about it the steam deck reguires you to have steam games to work right ? well pc games in general which if you arent already part of that ecosystem/ pc gaming world....thats something you gotta go out and get if you want a nintendo switch you need switch games and so on sure this one requires a console to work but still if you do have that...its a great little machine

It really just needs the ability to connect directly to the console for the screen streaming. The ps vita had this. And the connection was superior to wifi.

@@StaticxJFord what I'm saying is the portal get signal from the wifi. The ps5 uploads to internet. Then the portal gets it from there. On ps4, the system could be turned off of wifi, and still directly stream to the vita. With a very good quality and much less lag and whatnot.

I’ve searched and searched but really can’t find definitive answers. I’m two hours away from home at the hospital with my son. We will be here for a month on his first stay so I thought this would be a GREAT idea. Long story short, got one here but can’t use it. The hospital Wi-Fi has an “accept agreement” and portal won’t let me, so I’ve been using my phone hotspot to attempt to hook it up with no success. My daughter is home so I walked her through the recommended settings on the ps5 for remote play, power savings etc. I linked the portal with my ps5 through the PS app but it will not connect. I’m stuck at this point, question, does it NEED to be on the same network at least once? Or pairing through the app should be enough?
@StaticxJFord
6 ай бұрын
No you don’t need to be on the same network. Long as the ps5 is in rest mode and you turned remote play on you should be able to connect. It would be easier to connect for sure if you had the portal right there with the ps5 initially. But long as the ps5 is in rest mode and connected to WiFi or hard wired into the ps5 you should be good! Regardless if the WiFi connection is different on the portal. Yeah the accept agreement thing is a bummer and one of the things I think PlayStation didn’t think all the way through with. But hotspot would be better route anyway imo due to being the hospital WiFi might not be as good as and fast possibly

Hi, I saw another video yesterday of a way around these open Wi-Fi connections where you need to login via a browser. If you there for a month I would recommend researching the option. Long story short, you need to check mac of portal, then copy your mac onto laptop. Accept agreement and login etc, then change laptop mac back to normal and portal works as if it is the laptop. I really hope this helps. Hope all goes well. I really want to get myself a portal but need to convince the wife it's value for money being a dad lol!

Furthest I’ve been away was on a 4hr road trip to the mountains. Ps5 connected through WiFi and portal worked flawlessly. I actually played an online Madden game on it and some red dead redemption and a little bit of cod. No issues. Only issue was the tad bit latency I mentioned in the video when playing CoD. Other than that it was perfectly fine.

I just got one because I travel for work and fell way behind on gaming. But there isn’t any latency issues (if) you play single player games. FF16, FF7, RE4, Ghost of tshushima. All run smoothly. Make sure your ps5 is plugged into your internet too. But I’ve used a 5G mobile hotspot while away and it’s great. I imagine cod online would not be good
