Sony Dumps PS Portal at Cost Price, Zero-Margin Black Friday Gamble Against Nintendo Switch 2 - Kotaku
"Nintendo has dominated portable gaming with the Switch 2, but Sony finally offers a compelling alternative for PlayStation owners who want their games on the go. The company built an empire around the PS5 as a living room powerhouse and the PS Portal extends that experience beyond the couch and into your hands. This device streams your entire PS5 library to a beautiful 8-inch screen, and lets you play God of War or Spider-Man anywhere in your home or via cloud gaming on the move."
"The full HD 1080p display stretches across 8 inches of screen real estate, creating an immersive portable gaming experience. You see game details clearly with vibrant colors and sharp text, making even busy action sequences easy to keep track of. Screen brightness handles a wide range of lighting conditions, from dimly lit bedrooms to bright living rooms. The 60fps capability ensures smooth gameplay that matches what you experience on your TV."
"Frame rates stay locked during intense action sequences, maintaining the responsive feel that PS5 games deliver on the console itself. The visual quality impresses given the streaming nature of the device, with minimal compression artifacts during stable WiFi connections. Remote Play connects directly to your PS5 console over WiFi, and streams games installed on your system to the portable device. You play your whole digital and disc library without buying games a second time or waiting for separate downloads."
