However, it seems that Sony has decided to scrap the idea of a fully portable console and has gone on to embrace the route of remote-play gaming. It’s a pretty bold step for Sony, and it seems to be working, considering the PlayStation Portal is currently in high demand.
Remote-play gaming has been around since the time of the PlayStation 3. It allowed you to connect your PSP or PSVita to a PS3 or PS4, and stream games onto your secondary screen. While it wasn’t the best experience, it appears that Sony is confident in their new streaming, remote-play handheld.
Can You Connect More Than One PlayStation Portal To The PlayStation 5?
If you have one PS5 at home and more than one gamer in your household, you might be thinking of getting two PlayStation Portals. But it’s unfortunate to say that you can’t do so. Sony has made it clear that you can only use one PlayStation Portal with your PS5 at a time.
This is kind of unfortunate but expected. The PlayStation Portal is a streaming device and acts as a secondary screen to everything that is displayed on the PlayStation 5.
Sony PlayStation Portal – Specs
The Sony PlayStation Portal comes equipped with a sizeable 8-inch screen, which is the biggest we’ve yet seen on a gaming handheld. And the controller setup is pretty impressive. It appears that Sony decided to chop the DualSense controller into two and slapped a screen in the middle.
As for the screen, you get an 8-inch IPS display, which doesn’t sound all that fancy. But an 8-inch screen is the biggest we’ve seen on any handheld in the current handheld market. You’re able to play games at 1080p 60 FPS, provided you’ve got a solid 15 Mbps connection.
As expected, the Dual Sense controller on the PlayStation portal retains all the capabilities of the original Dual Sense Wireless controller. The breathtaking immersion of their DualSense technology, haptic feedback, and adaptive triggers make their way to this streaming handheld.
Does PlayStation Portal Have Dual-Screen Functionality?
You might be wondering if you can play one game on the PlayStation Portal and another game on your PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, no, you can’t. The PlayStation Portal acts as a remote-play device that streams all the visual information from your PS5 to your handheld via Wi-Fi. That means that it’s basically a mirror or secondary screen. In short, no. The PlayStation Portal doesn’t offer dual-screen functionality for your PS5.
How Much Is The PlayStation Portal?
The PlayStation Portal is going to launch on November 15, 2023, for a retail price of $199. This is a tad bit disappointing considering you’re only getting a remote-play device with no support for cloud gaming. Still, the PlayStation Portal is in high demand and Sony has decided to limit units to one per customer.
The PlayStation Portal has been in high demand, contrary to popular belief that the device will fail to garner the attention of PS gamers. When Sony’s PlayStation Q project first stepped into the limelight, what we expected was the next generation of the PlayStation Portable.
