PlayStation Portal - Does it Work Away from Home?

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.

[@lukesono5687]

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.

[@dustojnikhummer]

@@lukesono5687 I hope you mean to say that Vita is more worth it than the Portal.

[@cyrus_duh_virus]

​@@dustojnikhummeronly reason i dont like the portal cuz it need internet conection to play the ps5 games the steam deck is its own console

[@EatSleepSkrrt]

Also u can cloud game on your phone with a backbone type controller, and let's not forget emulators, if you have a 2021+ high end phone with 6gb ram or more, u can even play ps2 games on your phone 🙌🏼🤔🤣

Eh, sometimes devices are just shit. My “smart” tv is supposed to connect to wifi but never has, even though my network is great. We just need a new PSP.

[@Trash0000]

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.

[@BlackPanthaa]

While my mesh isn't perfect, it's definitely one of the better. I transfer huge video files over wi-fi daily without issue. I stream 4K uncompressed BDs from my NAS over wi-fi. While not WiFi 6, it holds up very well.

people doesn't realize it's viable anymore for a psp to be viable for sony thing would need to be able to run ps5 games point blank no original title .That's why Nintendo went that way game cost to much to develop now days .

[@ashtonmohammed3005]

They already did the Vita and people didn't support it and they pulled the plug on it, they won't throw money at another portable again since the switch is dominating the portable gaming market, we're out of luck

[@friday4557]

The PSP was ahead of its time in 05 it was the only device you could play games, go online, watch movies, and listen to music that you could put in your pocket. by the time the Vita came out your phone could do all those things, so it flopped and a new psp would too, They would have to make a all in one like Nintendo for it to sell.

[@User71956]

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.

[@jordanking7711]

Or Vita. Couldn't agree more. People don't want to have to access a network just to play a game they enjoy. And before people say 'oh but physical media is going in the way of the dinosaurs', well not if we can help it and STOP buying things digitally. Digital gaming is not the way of the future that people think. I couldn't care less about convenience.

Playstation Portal for me i think costed around $240.

[@Enclave.]

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.

[@Joker-yu5kp]

Exactly i don’t wanna play on my phone and kill the battery,phone isn’t a video game,i can play on it occasionally but using it as a main device to play games doesn’t make any sense for me.

[@AI_KyunNotAnEgg]

Unless you don't have an old phone that you could use for remote play then buying the portal is maybe understandable

[@MetalMayhem1978]

[@Enclave.]

@@AI_KyunNotAnEgg My old phone tends to turn into a backup in case something tragic happens to my current phone. it only works as a backup because at the point where I get a new phone the battery on my old phone doesn't last very long at all and thus would be ill suited to something like game streaming anyways. I'm the first to say that the Playstation Portal is a niche device but for people in that niche? It absolutely does make sense. I do question if that niche is big enough to really justify Sony making the device in the first place but since I'm in that niche I'll take advantage of it existing :P

i don't understand the point of this device at all. There are so many similar possibilities on much better prices, in particular cuz you'll have already paid 500USD on a PS5. Another future champion of the used market.

[@Exiled-_-Khajiit]

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.

[@J.C.2.5]

After the "hype" people will realize that this device is pointless and will flop in the long run. Unless you really love the dual sense controller, purchasing this device doesn't make sense. I'll stick with my backup phone, PSplay app and a decent telescopic controller.

[@Justmeandmy20cents]

As a ps vita owner, who owns over 150 physical games for it I think the portal makes the vita look like a legacy nintendo product, sure it had lots of apps and games back then but the screen is 480 p and even if its oled it looks worse than anything released today.

[@IceKoldKilla]

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.

[@retrokidbk83]

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.

[@speedyblackman]

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?

Hi mate I have EE and can’t connect to the portal hotspot . Do you have the same issue ?

$500 for screen and PS5 CONTROLLER CUT UP IN HALF... it worth damn BUY PORTABLE Gaming DEVICE Need frickin internet PORTAL PS5

[@shaqplays2222]

Cool but u gotta have a ps5 in order to use it. Basically remote play on mobile

[@TRX25EX]

It works away from home but it's stupid because we are in 2023 and tech today alot more advanced than this device.... This is a device of year 2018-2019 not 2023..... I will give you better device to spend on, today you can buy an AR glasses with OLED 120hz for 299$... Add that to your existing phone and existing PS5 controller then you will get these advantages: 1. OLED screen 2. 20 times bigger screen 3. More portable 4. Lighter 5. Uses phone connectivity (5G, Bluetooth 5.3, Wifi 6E) 6. Can do not only PS but also Xbox streaming 7. You can use any controller PS Edge or normal or Xbox 8. You can view media content 9. Screen Privacy 10. Better sound with better privacy 11. Better battery life (hotspot vs glasses) And alot more things to he honest.... It's kinda stupid to buy these and not AR glasses in 2023

Cool points for the styling of the device. I like the way it lights up on the sides.

My only issue is the latency. The UK is behind on the Internet speeds I'm sure, cause I'm on reddit and gamers across the pond are having a blast. I can only play 3rd person games on mine. I've tried GT7 and it's OK, but I'm not sure if it's my network (I've heard I should invest in a router and not use the one that my isp ships) but right now I'm getting frame rate drops to what seems like 15-20fps when playing online so I avoid it.

[@Afraz_9n3]

Yh the UK doesn't have very good mobile network speeds or internet speeds. Most of our WiFi networks are half fibre based on the old copper networks rather than full fibre to the premises. And the mobile networks aren't full 5G instead 5G ultra wide band which is slower and essentially just a slightly faster 4G

Actually, as a parsec user, I can't access my gaming PC on data, although I can with some cafe WiFi. The only way to use data is with a VPN to your home. WiFi (or fibre internet) works flawlessly from anywhere for some technical reasons to do with IP, ISP and stuff.

I think Steam Deck might even be cheaper than you mentioned because you can get a Referb one for way cheaper. Where the 512GB version is same price or cheaper than the old 64GB version.

@@XAV-117 it has a worse screen (800p low quality same one used in the cheap 40£ Amazon fire tabs) vs 1080p on the PlayStation portal worse battery life. I am not saying the PlayStation portal is a great deal, but it isn’t really comparable. Also I haven’t had a good experience with the steam deck it is very buggy and feels like a beta product. You are better off using a tablet if you want to game stream.

[@Manutd4evaSpeer]

Tbh I'm waiting , I can see it being gradually upgraded due too feedback , if it hit Vita levels I'm buying it , it does look so nice though , tempted but waiting 🤣🤣😊

[@splysavv]

The potential is there. I’d ask for remote play no matter what network as long as both are connected to the internet I don’t see the problem, also a better screen, OLEDs are the way to go, HDR, & I’d sacrifice graphics for the 120hz frame rate if I had to. Still my favorite YTer pushing 10yrs or so now! You helped me discover the creativity & passion I have for creating and editing videos, you also helped me find the courage to upload and share those videos with the world. 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. That’s something my mother taught me. Initiative & ambition. & to always stay positive and share that positivity with the world. I speak for the racing game community when I say thank you for your dedication, your support of us, and your continued enthusiasm for what you do.

[@themightyimp08]

Not being funny, but most gamers shouldn't settle for good 90% of the time. All it takes is a split second to totally wipeout your run of whatever game it is you fancy playing. Over priced, under performs, exactly what i thought it would be. I'm a member of a very active PS5 Facebook group, and the best feedback so far is the portal is not as bad as they thought it might be. The haptics are it's only saving grace. But that's not good enough for me I'm afraid.. The real pity is, all the R&D costs for this waste of technology is coming out of our increased PS+ subscription costs. This affects everyone, even if you don't buy it.

If you don’t have good WiFi at the place away from home then you will be playing on a fuzzy potato … the WiFi from both home and away has to be top knot h if you want a great experience .even off line single player games will be fuzzy I’m quite not satisfied and want a refund . Gonna call PlayStation just for them too say we can’t do it . Most places won’t have this high tech WiFi you have at home. My WiFi is great at home games are crystal clear at home most places I went away from home had the game so fuzzy and glitchy it’s not a great experience at all

[@nickgav7390]

As an owner of both PSP and PSVita I'm insanely disappointed Not only do you have to be online every time but you also need to have a PS5 in order to have access to games Which kinda defeats the purpose of a handheld

[@nodakgirl93]

Its a remote play streaming device. Of course u have to be on wifi to stream anything. An actual handheld gaming system would cost way more and need proper 3rd party support.

[@SteelSpurs]

​@@nodakgirl93So they should spend the money to make it then

[@BennyWest1992]

But you still have to have to turn on your PS5 for it to work, so what if you are on a trip or something, or in your car and didn’t think about having your PS5 on while you’re away? because I assume that you’re not able to turn on your PS5 via that PS portable, so I would rather just go and buy yourself a tablet or something instead and then your able to use all kindsa cloud gaming not just streaming your PS games…

[@theanimeotaku2794]

People shouldn't buy this device it's legitimately pointless when you already have a phone or tablet, lol plus that thing doesn't do any local game processing at all just remote play access you are better off getting a steam deck or an actual PS vita the original good handheld

So you can’t use psp portal if your away and you have ps5 is in rest mode ? Because having the tv on and ps5 on while your away is absurd bills going up and the ps5 is basically on for no reason ?

People want this modded, which is weird, cause the just turns it into any other tablet

Most of the mobile networks give NAT type 3 connections. I've got one mobile network that gives NAT type 2 in 4g. If itried it on 5g, it's not working. So 4g and Nat type 2.😊
