PlayStation Portal Remote Player Unboxing & Initial Setup

[@tanyachapman4725]

Thank you so much for the detailed, easy to understand instructions. At 65, I successfully helped my 10-year-old grandson connect his portal to his Ps5 player. He is loving it. Thanks again!😁

[@Marcthegeek]

Your welcome, glad it helped.

Very good point about a physical connection to the routers from the ps5. Astro bot rescue and Astro bot are gaming masterpieces I think..

[@pepsidude8919]

The PlayStation Portal still seems really amazing, and I might still think about picking one up to use for my PS5 console sometime too!

The PlayStation Portal device almost reminds me of the Wii U GamePad controller for Nintendo's Wii U game console and it also almost looks like a Nintendo Switch system too.

Nice unboxing video and thanks so much for uploading this too! Even though I already have a PS5 now and all, I'm actually not sure yet if I'm planning on picking up the PlayStation Portal for my PS5 and if I ever do decide to get one sometime, I might wait at least a year or two before buying one.

[@WaynesTW]

Setback? It's a completely different type of device. Also, completely different price. I bought it at launch for $250 in 2012. It was quite a lot of money back then. I loved it and played a lot of games while commuting to and from work but this is a different type of device

[@arsenal3a357]

Tell me you’re broke without telling me your broke

[@JohnnyNewport]

Tbh, I read that you only require a router for a wireless pass through. Which theoretically means It doesn’t necessarily need to be connected to the internet just needs a Host/Client sided connection.

[@JohnnyNewport]

So it will basically work just how the vita did? If you have an extra router not connected to the internet. Try it. Up side, great remote play experience. Down side not being connected to the globe. So stick with story mode games loo

[@schizowallflower]

I just got mine about an hour ago. It's a lot lighter than I expected. Maybe even lighter than the DualSense Edge. played Spider-Man 2 and theHunter: Call of the Wild for about 20 minutes each and the sticks seems a lot more fluid and sensitive than the regular DualSense, DualSense Edge and the Scuf Reflex I have, where everything moves super smoothly. I rarely get that with Remote Playing so I actually have high hopes for this.

Anywhere on the planet mate, as long as you're connected to WiFi 👍 Although, I've found my experience was flawless when I was on the same network at home, but at my in-laws house (on their network, with my ps5 at home) the resolution dropped...

[@BUPMY1]

Wait a minute, correct me if im wrong, but you can't cloud stream on regular remote play either?

[@xchxmpagnepxpix]

Sony said cloud streaming is in the works for the portal since there's no technical limitations preventing it.

[@nategreatgames78]

Think it’s more of a bandwith thing. Your ps5 would need to process a stream while sending one at the same time

Since PS5 games can be streamed and played on the PlayStation Portal and since the PS5 is also backwards compatible with PS4 games apparently, can the PlayStation Portal play PS4 games too or will it only play just PS5 games instead? I was just wondering.

It streams games from your PS5. If you have ps4, ps3 or ps2 games on your PS5, they will stream to the portal. The portal itself is NOT playing anything
