It's doable but it just stutters badly... and third was Dirt 5 which constantly crashes on remote play even before entering any race... I have an AYN Odin which gives me similar results, but I had hopes that the PS portal would perform better... As I said, I love everthing hardwarewise (except for the missing support for WiFi 6), but I just can't play with it constantly stuttering. And no, my WiFi is fine, my PC performs better than the portal... I really wanted this to succeed, but at last I am really upset by it's performance. I don't know how all news outlets can say it's quiet good when they all upload videos of it stuttering like s....

      People who complaing about input lag or dropped frames either have slow internet or a crappy router, or both. I remote play and cloud play games all the time with zero input lag or dropped frames
