Sony PlayStation Portal
PlayStation Portal boasts a vibrant 8-inches LCD screen that is compatible for 1080p at 60fps, making it perfect for playing high resolution games. In addition, the device will allow streaming of PS5 games over Wi-Fi. PS5 users will be able to play back and forth between two devices making it easier to continue your game anytime and anywhere you like.
Supported games from PS5 can be played using the handheld device using the DualSense controller. However, PS VR2 games and PlayStation Plus Premium games will not be supported.
The PlayStation Portal bears similarity to the existing PS5 DualSense Controllers. The side controllers support adaptive triggers and haptic feedback which makes it easier to switch from PS5 to remote play. For audio, a 3.5mm audio jack is included for wired audio.
Sony PlayStation Portal Availability
The new Sony remote play device is set to arrive some time this year with a price tag of $199.99. As of writing, there is still no date on when the pre-order will begin so gamers must sit back and ponder their choices for now.
Sony will also be releasing the Pulse Elite wireless headset and Pulse Explore wireless earbuds that will surely elevate your gaming experience through audio. The Pulse Elite will sell at $149.99 while the Pulse Explore will be available for $199.99.
It is going to be a big year for Sony fans as the company keeps on releasing new ways to capture the perfect gaming experience for its customers. "Our PlayStation community continues to give us a reason to challenge ourselves to bring new innovations to the market for all players to enjoy," senior VP for Sony Platform Experience Hideaki Nishino shared.
