In this week of gamescom 2023, Sony Interactive Entertainment chose to make people talk about him by finally giving us official news of his Project Q. The streaming device that can stream in Remote Play PS5 games had been unveiled last May during the Playstation Showcase, leaving us with quite a few questions in mind. Since then, a video and visuals have leaked, even showing us the interior. Well, now we have a name and a price to put on the beast, among other details. Make way for PlayStation Portal!
The advertisement therefore appeared on the PlayStation-Blogwho devoted part of an article to him in the SVP, Platform Experience Hideaki Nishino. The latter clarifies that the Playstation Portal will include the main features of the DualSensewith haptic feedback and adaptive triggers for games supporting them, as well as an 8-inch LCD screen that can display 1080p at 60 fps. Connection to the PS5 will be via Wi-Fi, with at least 5 Mbps bandwidth required and 15 Mbps recommended. Another article hands on of Content Communications Manager Tim Turi, teaches us that the screen will be touch-enabled to emulate the touchpad behavior of the DualSense.
The use of the device is designed for players who have to share a TV or want to play through their home. You will understand, the Playstation Portal is not specially designed for having fun outside with a 4G or 5G connection… immediately removing its interest. It incorporates a 3.5 mm jack socket and obviously cannot stream Games PSVR 2, which require the virtual reality headset. The same goes for all games that require an additional peripheral other than a DualShock 4, DualSense Or DualSense Edge and those to be streamed through the PlayStation Plus Premium. What put him in the lead in the wing even before its launch later this year?
What is certain is that his tariff should not help him, because it will cost €219.99 to get the PlayStation Portal ($199.99 / £199.99 / ¥29,980). Pre-order details will be available soon.
Either way, you’ll need a PlayStation 5 before you even think about getting one. Playstation Portal. Model with disc drive is currently sold 474 € on Amazon.
