PlayStation Portal - How To Set Up Your PlayStation Portal Remote Player

PlayStation Portal Remote Player releases today, letting you play PS5 games via Remote Play. Are you eagerly awaiting the arrival of PlayStation Portal? To get you set up even quicker on release day, Ash talks you through the process and explains all the new PlayStation Portal features.

Our PlayStation Portal guide explains how to set up the PS Portal, how to connect to PS5 via Remote Play and explains the interface and touchscreen functionality. Rather than a PlayStation portable, the PlayStation Portal is a streaming device - it connects to PS5 via your Wi-Fi router and uses Remote Play to stream games to its eight inch screen. Games are not installed on the PS Portal, but run on the PS5 itself - so you do need a PS5 to use it!

We’ve been able to test PlayStation Portal gameplay across a variety of games and have enjoyed responsive gameplay on the eight inch LCD screen. With the DualSense controllers attached PlayStation Portal has the same immersive haptics and adaptive triggers you’d expect from your PS5 games. The main difference is the way touchpad features are mapped to the Portal’s touchscreen, as demonstrated in Astro’s Playroom.

Will you be picking up PlayStation Portal Remote Player? Perhaps you have one already. Let us know what you think and what game you played on it first. If you have any questions about how to set up and use PlayStation Portal, pop them in the comments below.
