In an exciting announcement, Sony has introduced the PlayStation Portal Remote Play, a handheld device designed to enhance the gaming experience for PS5 users. Formerly known as “Project Q,” the PlayStation Portal Remote Play is set to change the way gamers interact with their console.
Priced at USD 199.99 or 219.99 EURO, the PlayStation Portal Remote Play is tailored for home gamers seeking versatility. The device can be paired with the PS5 to enable seamless game streaming, a feature referred to as “remote play.” Sporting an 8-inch LCD screen boasting 1080p resolution at 60 fps, the handheld guarantees stunning visuals. The joystick offers adaptive trigger and haptic feedback support, immersing players in gameplay like never before.
Sony’s statement indicates that the PlayStation Portal Remote Play is ideal for those who need to share a living room TV or prefer gaming in different areas of their home. Through Wi-Fi connectivity, the device easily communicates with the PS5, allowing gamers to transfer their ongoing game from the console to the Portal. It’s important to note that the PlayStation Portal Remote Play is compatible with “supported games” installed on the PlayStation 5.
The package includes a dedicated DualSense controller, complete with a 3.5mm headphone jack for wired audio. However, it’s worth mentioning that the device does not support certain PS VR2 games that require a headset or cloud-streamed games from PlayStation Plus Premium.
