Can you use the Portal as an additional controller? ie 1 player using a Dual Sense via the TV, and another player using the Portal via Remote Play? I used to do this with the Vita and PS4 Remote Play, so hoping it’s still the case. 😊

You actually can use remote play as a second controller, i've played many times like that. You do remote play as player 1 and use a regular dualshock as player too. You can do the same with xbox. You cant connect directly but you can use as second controller. Its sometimes useful. Another use is for who wants to save cellphone battery using a portal instead. Last advantage is use a pal's console, you dont nees to use it with your own console, as long as not in the same time (on single player games)

Yeah I too have been doing that with an iPad Pro for years now and it’s pretty good, but it’s still two separate devices and I have to sit at a table to use it. I’m getting this so I can lay back in bed and on the couch and play even more comfortably and only have to use one device. Also, I really like that it’s part of the Sony ecosystem and I don’t have to use a third party device to play my games away from the TV. This will be a more portable option that my iPad and controller set up and I’m so excited for it 😂 now I can set up my iPad outside and play KZbin videos while I also smoke a blunt and play ps5 on the portal ✅✅ lol

Nice Portal, it does look great and at £200 might be worth it, but as you have said, more so if they open it up to the Direct Streaming from the Gaming Cloud then yes it would then become more versatile and thus more worth the money, even though as you point out about the 'Backbone' and if that is worth £100 then unreservedly it is worth the money in that case!

I honestly would have nearly paid $400 for a new PlayStation handheld that could natively play the entire PS4 back catalog as well as stream the PS5 (or play lower-spec PS5 games). Knowing things like the Steam Deck are more powerful than the PS4, it's more than possible, and because it's Sony, they have the ability to shrink the die of a PS4 APU to make it much more power efficient.

@SpawnPoiint you’ve failed to mention that the portal doesn’t currently have or support native security features. If the portal is lost/stolen, the next person who picks it up will have the freedom to connect this portal to their own PS5 and use it as they wish. So for everyone out there please make sure to at least apply a PIN to your PS5 unit until Sony comes up with a patch or support for the feature. I found this out myself because I have a PIN on my PS5 and when the portal successfully connected the PS5 required the PIN before I could use it. If you do not have a PIN, it just goes straight to XMB dashboard letting the next person have access to your unit.

I’m assuming no because you said you can’t play two different games but is that also considering two different accounts?

Ever since this was announced (and up until now) I've always thought that the main reason is playing away from home with remote play. I get the reasons you mention for playing at home but that literally happens once in a very while. Internet in my country is quite good in general (usually a gigabit connection or atleast 800mbps) so it's good to hear that it will be usable from outside the home.

If you have to login in to public Wi-Fi or after to term it's useless, and most hotels and public places require you to agree to terms. Unless you have a unlimited hotspot it's useless.

1) At home network do u use cable from Ps5>Router, or is it just fine if it is wireless as well? 2) Also at home network, does the internet is required? or u can "unplug your router" from the World of internet, and just play localy in your home network? (i am asking 'cause sometimes the Home router is so far in the house that u can move it and the signal is too week through all the walls, so if i could just use local router that i can move around in our livingroom without the need for the internet, it would help).
