I finally got my hands on the Sony PlayStation Portal Remote Player. This device dropped November 2023 and has been SOLD OUT ever since. I was able to snag one on the PlayStation Direct website. In this video I share my thoughts as a casual gamer.

Great review. I was searching a review, where I can see actual internet speed connection. Thank you for this. I definitely considering, after your review, to buy it ! You need sponsorship from Sony, honestly this is the best review!

Thank you for your kind remarks, Nikolay! I forgot to mention this in the video, but there was little to no lag during gameplay on my home wifi. Would be interesting to see how it holds up away from home or over mobile hotspot.

Great review! Hopefully they add playing on alternative accounts simultaneously in an update

You won't be able to watch Netflix or KZbin on the PS Portal, but what you can do is play your favorite PS5 games at home and on the go!

Does the ps5 stay in rest mode while playing because mines don’t? Subbed also

@azarfe11Life25 4 ай бұрын

Yeah you just got to go into the settings and make sure that you put it on the rest mode when you connect the portal there's a settings inside of the portal that when you disconnect from it it'll put the PS5 on rest automatically You got to make sure if that's highlighted or you can't turn back on of course your PS5 when you turn on the portal@@koonyeezy6433

Glad you are enjoying your portal. Link to my review of the Ultra Watch band is here kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGTPiGiCm7N7ja8si=FwouvTCh92kuoXE9. Link to purchase is in the description of that video. Thanks for watching!

I have the rog ally and I love it. The one thing PS did right was with this was make the handles like actual controllers !! I love that! I wish the ally did the same!

@daneondemand Ай бұрын

I also love that they did t compromise on the handles. They feel just like the normal dual sense but with a giant screen in the middle.

Hi is your playstation connect by ethernet cable or in wifi mode? Have you tried in using the playstation in wifi mode? Thanks

@daneondemand 4 ай бұрын

Hey! My PlayStation is connected using WiFi. In another video, I show how the portal performs using my mobile hotspot.

@audi4581 4 ай бұрын

@daneondemand Hey Thanks for the reply. Done some research and most of what was coming back was ps5 needs to he connected by ethernet. Otherwise will cause issues and be laggy. Those who went down the pa5 wifi route were the ones that seem to be complaining the most. Thought take a chance and ask the question, thanks for the reply. Lots of mixed messages about ps5 WiFi issues and portal being laggy.

@daneondemand 4 ай бұрын

Totally agree! If you have Ethernet nearby definitely use that for the best performance. My WiFi is good enough to where I do not experience lagging/stuttering while playing at home. I can’t say the same for mobile hotspot.

@daneondemand Hi many thanks for the advice. Keep up the good respect from the 🇬🇧

@Joe-kn4es 4 ай бұрын

Do you get stutters? There’s an issue that we’re trying to get Sony’s awareness for regarding the 59.94Hz output by PS5 and the portal running at 60Hz. That makes micro stutters every 10-15 seconds brother

@daneondemand 4 ай бұрын

I do experience some stuttering but they are so far apart I don’t really notice. I’ve had the portal for about a week and I would say I’ve noticed it maybe 3 times.

Will it still play while your ps5 is on rest mode?

When your ps5 is in rest mode it will wake so you can use the portal.

I think it depends on how much hotspot you need. I’m usually always around wifi so I rarely use my hotspot.

The only con is the battery life and having to double tap the bottom left or bottom right of the screen for the touchpad.

I wish it was single tap or press and hold. I don't like the double tap either.

why does a streaming device got an airplane mode?

@Pranksta1985 4 ай бұрын

The same reason anything does, so it doesn't interfere with Wi-Fi.

@daneondemand 4 ай бұрын

If you decided to bring your device on an airplane and play on the go. Airplane mode would prevent your Portal from trying to connect to nearby towers.

Apparently hackers have found a way to hack the portal to emulate games, which seems odd since I wouldn't think this would have any Software storage

@daneondemand 4 ай бұрын

I saw that! The fact that the hackers work for Google is somewhat relieving but still. Maybe this will force Sony’s hands into giving us the updates we want!
