A little tip, When in the game catalogue on the PS5 console set the filter list to A - Z . This allows the complete list of games to be viewed when looking at the cloud game catalogue. (at the moment you cant change the filter list on the portal)
Just one important note for our great Troy. You don't need to put your PS5 back to rest mode for the portal to be able to connect to it. Turning it on is enough.
@@WhatGear Naw when it comes to the console you only supposed to turn it off when you need to unplug it. Normally you supposed to keep it in rest mode. In rest mode doing the remote play its supposed to be smart enough to know not to turn your tv on. Like it normally knows the difference when its being used for remote play or when someone is on the console. Unless there is something funky going on with your tv's hdmi cec settings
Loving my portal now with the update. They also fixed the micro stutter issues and the connection issues with the PS5 it is a lot stronger. It finally works as it should have still need a premium Plus subscription to take advantage of the streaming service
@@spartan0083 after you update your software, it's going to ask you if you want to use gaming streaming service and you have to turn it on then it will restart your portal and you should be good to go
Ordered mine today. It'll be here Tuesday. Unfortunately all the stores were closed because we'll Thanksgiving and all that. Thats fine those employees can enjoy their day. Got it on Amazon. I've been subbed to premium since launch so I'm good to go!
Even before the update ps portal was good because it was intended for people who have kids or wives that occupy the TV or for people who want to chill in bed and play. That’s the reason why it sold so well even before the update.
I currently do not own a PS5 and am now highly interested in purchasing the portal after watching this video, however I have a question - What if the game I want to play is not available in the ps+ subscription library? Would I be able to purchase it on the portal?
@@reahgampon9843 yes you can purchase it. Let say Fifa 25 is not included ,you just purchase it for 31€ (current price) and play it. Don't forget that you can share the game with aother person ,so the price will be 15.5€ for Fc25 😀
@reahgampon9843 as of right now I don't think so. Only the games that are available as part of the game catalogs which are technically "free" as long as you have the right subscription
Nope I just got one yesterday and I’m bummed bc I can’t play the one game I wanted to play with my kids. Which is why I got this to begin with. So I’ll either return it or buy the ps5
At a cost of £120 a year to essentially rent the games, and with the majority being games you'd never touch, you may as well just get a PS5 and purchase the games you want to keep.
Just picked one up. As someone who owns a steam deck I think cloud streaming is a game changer. Not being hardware limited means you have a handheld that can basically play anything.
Great video. I bought this yesterday for my son for Christmas. I only found out about it about a month ago, didn't even know it existed, and only knew that it connected to the playstaion 5 itself. So, to find out it's just had a new updated this has made it much better. My son will love this. What would you rate the playstaion portal to all the other hand held device out there 👍🏻
It's definitely the most comfortable & I think the controllers are the best out there. It's tricky to say that it's the best handheld, as it doesn't have onboard storage. If it did, and if it could play offline...it would be a top competitor in my opinion.
@KyleGuitarLife I really hope so. The PSP back in the day was such a beast. I never actually got to own a Vita unfortunately but I head lots of good things about it. If they do release one. There's a few things they have to do. Allow it to be plugged into a big screen, like the Nintendo switch. use an OLED 120hz display. Allow for interchangeable batteries & memory. WiFi 6 connectivity & mobile SIM. And the option to pair a dual sense wirelessy when playing on TV. If they do that it will be a winner🏆
Introducing a new PlayStation Portal inspired by the versatility of the Nintendo Switch or a dedicated gaming phone could be a significant advancement in portable gaming. This device would allow users to download games for offline play, making it an ideal companion for travelers. Imagine enjoying a seamless gaming experience on the go, similar to playing on a PSP, especially in scenarios where internet connectivity is unreliable or completely absent. Many travelers face challenges with poor mobile data service or lack of access to Wi-Fi, which makes offline gaming a highly desirable feature. A PlayStation Portal designed with these considerations in mind would not only enhance user experience but also expand the audience for portable gaming solutions.
If there was a handheld PlayStation that could play PS5 games it would only be able to download about 5 games at a time and cost $700. No one would buy it.
Anyone else’s game catalog just simply not loading after update? Once I click beta option it says “loading game catalog”. The text saying that goes away and all I see is the blue circle with the theme playing in the background. I 100% have PlayStation premium, restarted the system and even updated my actual ps5 no luck so far with this update. Slightly disappointed
@brandonjennings18 same here. I was testing it at work with it hooked up to my phone hotspot and the catalog doesn't load. I'm hoping this is just first day jitters and it will work soon
It was working for me yesterday but now it is not showing the catalogue. I've been trying to get it to work for like the past hour or seems and I've got nothing. Even contacted support and still nothing
It is in beta mode so only 120 games at the moment. They did mention ps3 and ps4 games not available now but i think once they open this up its insane value for money! Cheapest way to get into a new handheld gaming with insane quality games. :).
I have a feeling they will change it up eventually. Currently with the PS+ Catalog they update it every month by adding new games and removing others. I am not sure if they have different plans for the portal but I would assume it will follow how PS+ works now.
Does the Playstation portal include being able to have just games cartridge or not being played without the subscription or do you have to have the subscription?
What about the games on your Playstation will we be able to play them on the portal if it's off or do we still have to leave it on rest mode to play those
So if I’m in Colorado & my PS5 is in Texas, can I play this? Or do I have to take my PS5 with me? Or can I use a hotspot as internet on a road trip and still play?
I've got to send my son's ps5 in to be service. That said, he's got a premium membership. If I buy a playstation portable, would we be able to log on to it while it's getting serviced?
Question: If i play on the portal w/ cloud streaming, I cannot continue my saved game from my PS5 if my PS5 is not open/on rest mode?? Coz I want to be able to play for example my FFXIV game on portal while even my PS5 is closed, but this means I have to have my saved game on it. Sorry I'm a noob so I have lots of questions about the cloud stream gaming on the portal.
Yeh, you can pause at anytime. You have to pay per month....would be could if you could pause at any time though and use up the days that you paid for later.
I want to get a PS5 primarily for Astro Bot and Black Ops 6. Even though I have a PC and handheld devices, I really want to play Astro Bot, and I don't see it being ported to PC anytime soon. It's December 2024, and I can purchase a 2TB PS5 Pro for $700 right now. Additionally, I would need to buy the PlayStation Portal and the games, bringing the total to around $1,000. My question is: is it worth it? I really enjoy handheld devices because I go to dialysis, and they help me pass the time while I sit in a chair for three and a half hours.
Can someone please share the link to the "PlayStation library" mentioned at 4:53 which shows the 200+ games that are available via the cloud to play on the Portal? Thanks guys
When you scroll and show the games it looks like it's mostly older games, no? For example Witcher 3 is a great game but old. Does it include games that are from the last 1-2 years?
There's one thing i'm wondering about. If you own a game that is not on the Cloud game library, and you don't have a console to stream that game from. Is it still possible to play it through cloud gaming on the Portal?
@@WhatGearWell isn’t everything in life a ch-, eh never mind. Yes, a choice was made. Just seems a bit silly to not include the info that is arguably the other 50% of what will make this a 100% realized thing. I’ll admit it seems this info was easy enough to find on Sony’s page announcing the beta so perhaps a google search should have been first choice. Don’t mean this to be cruel, just seems important to those owning games already, which is most users.
Now it's saying " can't display the screen connected console. The screen contains content that can't be displayed using remote play" Gta5, WRC rally, etc any ideas to wtf is going on with a remote player not able to remote play? Cheers! Sorry if sound abrupt it's all brand new my ps5 and portal and just getting stressed out with it!
I just bought a PlayStation portal literally less than an hour ago saying this news is exciting. If I wanted to play on the go with the games on my PlayStation do I have to have my TV on while I’m not at home?
soo you need a ps5 to play ps portal and it needs to turn on i got a ps5 on launch day soo looks like im not buying it was going to get one tomorrow bc im flying on the airplane so i can play games on the airplane but looks like i need my ps5 to be on and looks like i cant do that bc my ps5 is in the bag going on the plane with me
This is brilliant news. I’ve been wanting one but was unhappy that you couldn’t play a game on it at the same time as the PS5 is being used by another family member. This makes it the perfect stand alone device.
Here's the question though. Do I still need a PS5 to set up my portal or can I just do the set up through my phone or device? Cuz I know that it really didn't matter just to get into the device and set it up u needed a PS5 console. I heard that people who don't have a PS5 still couldn't use this because u needed one to set it up. Also Im just asking cuz I dont wanna grab one and have to go through some crap to get the device itself set up
Can I play a game I purchased without having an internet connection? I want to play on car rides or at work, is this possible? Or is the portal solely a streaming system, no offline gaming?
@@qwertyasd6570 No, it needs to sync with your PS5 to be able to play the games you own which needs your PS5 to be on. Another down side is if you only own the disk version of games then you would need someone who is home to switch the disk out for you. But if you own digital games then you can simply download whichever game you want to play on to your PS5 from your library and play them on the Portal. But you can turn on your PS5 from anywhere in the world as long as you have internet access and your portal is synced with your PS5.
hey, can you play simultaneously on the ps portal while cloud streaming and also with my roommate on my ps5 on a multiplayer or something with a different account?
Any tips on how to enhance the centre button on the screen?. I find playing GTA V, really difficult because on the ps portal I can’t open the central button on demand. Many thanks 🙏
Sorry question, you did cover this but just wanted to triple check, you need a internet connection to play the games? Needing something to occupy me for our 14 hour plane flight. This would not be possible right?
@@SyncRecords nope. you need the internet that the plane offers since there is no signal. The games are all in the cloud so if you are in a cave or mountain without internet, it is just like a useless electronics you have. Owning (1) PS Portable will need you just a (2) premium monthly subscription and (3) internet. without the those 3, it won’t work. Suddenly missed that PSP way back.
Tbh it's only ps5 version of games that you can stream. But there are rumors that ps1, PS2, and psp version of games are coming to ps4 and PS5 with in house emulation because the library they show on PS5 plus premium are PS3 and ps4 ports of these classic games. And the cloud streaming beta for the portal shows only ps5 versions of games can be streamed no ps4 or PS3 but with a native emulator it might make ps plus premium especially for the portal if they can also stream PS2 and PS1 games.
I have a ps5 digital and I gonna leave for 6 months out of my country and I can’t take it with me. Is gonna be turn off totally I have account and ps plus I can play with portal ps5 without problems right? My connection also is gonna be very good
I'm a long time Xbox player. There are a lot of Playstation exclusives that I wanted to play but didn't want to drop another 400 plus on a console. Now with this portal update I'll probably get it.
Good morning, and thank you for this video. Is it possible to purchase Crash Bandicoot on the portal without having a ps5 console? I have bought the 3 monthly plus subscription, and I thought I could simply purchase any game I wanted. But this doesn't seem to be the case. It looks like I can only play games that are in the library. I'm new to this.
I mean they made a Game boy, you could play games on it mind they were cartridges, but this portal is beautiful and slick and super fun ! Plus they should’ve been done this Netflix needs to be added as well but great video 👍🏾
Hi I just purchased one of these and having trouble i tried setting it up but to my wifi and internet when I do that it it brings up my ps5 account but my ps5 doesn't work how do I play without that account I can't get pass that
Can you play warzone on it? I gave a PS5 but my son and I take turns playing and it would be cool if one of us could play on The Portal and the other on the PS5 together.
If I own a ps5 and a ps portal can one of my kids play a game on the ps5 and the other play one of the 120 cloud games at the same time on the same ps account?? Thanks
@Daniel-ei2sd just tried this while my girl was playing harry potter on the ps5 i turned on the portal and went to play spider man from cloud streaming and it kicked her out of her game smh
You can stream any game that Sony has available on their Playstation Plus catalog but you will need a Playstation Plus Premium account which isn't cheap. For 1 month it is around $15 a month, for 3 months it is around $40 a month, and for 1 year it is around $150 a year. And yes if you own a PS5 and have a digital library you can connect your portal to the PS5 and play your PS5 digital catalog on the Portal. You just need to make sure both your Portal and PS5 is connected to the internet and make sure your Portal is synced with the PS5. And your PS5 must be in sleep mode not fully turned off for the Portal to connect. So yeah you can pretty much be anywhere in the world and be able to turn your PS5 on from the Portal and play your PS5 when you are not home.

Thats not true cause im trying to set up my ps portal without a ps5 and i cant, i do have a ps5 account and plus
Can I play a game I purchased without having an internet connection? I want to play on car rides or at work, is this possible? Or is the portal solely a streaming system, no offline gaming?
Streaming only, sry
What about games you already downloaded/purchased? Or it can only be cloud stream games?
Can i play my game library without ps5 to be on?
@@qwertyasd6570 No, it needs to sync with your PS5 to be able to play the games you own which needs your PS5 to be on. Another down side is if you only own the disk version of games then you would need someone who is home to switch the disk out for you. But if you own digital games then you can simply download whichever game you want to play on to your PS5 from your library and play them on the Portal. But you can turn on your PS5 from anywhere in the world as long as you have internet access and your portal is synced with your PS5.
hey, can you play simultaneously on the ps portal while cloud streaming and also with my roommate on my ps5 on a multiplayer or something with a different account?
@@emilioaab I’m wondering the same thing. Wanna get one for my wife, her switch can’t run Fortnite or dbd well enough.
So do you need a PlayStation pass to play the game or you can just join right up
Any tips on how to enhance the centre button on the screen?. I find playing GTA V, really difficult because on the ps portal I can’t open the central button on demand.
Many thanks 🙏
Question. With the new update can Fortnite and marvel rivals be played on the portal without owning a ps5?
Sorry question, you did cover this but just wanted to triple check, you need a internet connection to play the games? Needing something to occupy me for our 14 hour plane flight. This would not be possible right?
@@SyncRecords nope. you need the internet that the plane offers since there is no signal. The games are all in the cloud so if you are in a cave or mountain without internet, it is just like a useless electronics you have. Owning (1) PS Portable will need you just a (2) premium monthly subscription and (3) internet. without the those 3, it won’t work. Suddenly missed that PSP way back.
Hi 120 games not enough will they put much more games on the catalog ??
Tbh it's only ps5 version of games that you can stream. But there are rumors that ps1, PS2, and psp version of games are coming to ps4 and PS5 with in house emulation because the library they show on PS5 plus premium are PS3 and ps4 ports of these classic games. And the cloud streaming beta for the portal shows only ps5 versions of games can be streamed no ps4 or PS3 but with a native emulator it might make ps plus premium especially for the portal if they can also stream PS2 and PS1 games.
I have a ps5 digital and I gonna leave for 6 months out of my country and I can’t take it with me.
Is gonna be turn off totally
I have account and ps plus
I can play with portal ps5 without problems right?
My connection also is gonna be very good
Hi with premium plus is fifa 24 on there to stream for free or can u buy games also on just the psp i dont own a PlayStation
You need subscription to access the cloud
I'm a long time Xbox player. There are a lot of Playstation exclusives that I wanted to play but didn't want to drop another 400 plus on a console. Now with this portal update I'll probably get it.
@@chrissheppard342I don’t own a console either and I was able to reset mine fully
This but Nintendo mostly. Just picked mine up and gonna play some games I missed.
Do u need to already have an account or can you make one on the portal, cuz i never had anything dealing with PlayStation someone please help
Good morning, and thank you for this video. Is it possible to purchase Crash Bandicoot on the portal without having a ps5 console? I have bought the 3 monthly plus subscription, and I thought I could simply purchase any game I wanted. But this doesn't seem to be the case. It looks like I can only play games that are in the library. I'm new to this.
I mean they made a Game boy, you could play games on it mind they were cartridges, but this portal is beautiful and slick and super fun ! Plus they should’ve been done this Netflix needs to be added as well but great video 👍🏾
Yeh it would be nice to have streaming services available.
@ heck yes and PlayStation games from 12345
So we only need to avail a cloud storage. Not bad.
Hi I just purchased one of these and having trouble i tried setting it up but to my wifi and internet when I do that it it brings up my ps5 account but my ps5 doesn't work how do I play without that account I can't get pass that
Set up a playstation account online first then log in on the Portal
@WhatGear i setup a account with a new email I created the add to the portal I purchased playstation plus but it's not add to my portal
I keep getting error after trying to load a game
So if I buy this without a PS5 console, can I still mirror or project its screen on to a TV?
No
I was wondering if if lets you play call of duty games without having the PS5 console present?
Can you still play the games you have on your ps5?
Are anyone else’s plug in headphones not working since this update? Any help appreciated please
Can I use just a controller or do I need the portal ?
Can you play warzone on it? I gave a PS5 but my son and I take turns playing and it would be cool if one of us could play on The Portal and the other on the PS5 together.
does this cloud gaming works in india as i want to buy portal as i have ps5 nd its subscribtion too plz reply is it worth buying in india or not
What if I have game already on my Playstation account can I play those or is it just renting
Unfortunately still not available for some country like Thailand region 😢
whats not available, the portal or the streaming channel??
@ cloud streaming 🥲
If I own a ps5 and a ps portal can one of my kids play a game on the ps5 and the other play one of the 120 cloud games at the same time on the same ps account?? Thanks
@@Carlfense10 yeah most likely because the cloud games won’t interfere with what the other child is playing on the Ps5 itself
@Daniel-ei2sd just tried this while my girl was playing harry potter on the ps5 i turned on the portal and went to play spider man from cloud streaming and it kicked her out of her game smh
Can I also play purchased games?
I don't own a PS5, just a PC and an Xbox
Please help is there a way to purchase and play god of war on the portal without owning the console? Im getting misinformation everywhere?
Any lag or something while cloud streamin. I knw playing via portal otherwise cn lag depnds on net but what about this
how to do that 4:34
"Pause at any time"
will essentials work?
So if I don't have a PS5 does that mean that after purchasing this device and this subscription I will be able to play most games?
I am a little confused.....can you now play only ps+ games or can you also play digital games/ games that you bought digitally?
@@anielsardjoe595 you can play all your games you own and the ones in cloud available
You can stream any game that Sony has available on their Playstation Plus catalog but you will need a Playstation Plus Premium account which isn't cheap. For 1 month it is around $15 a month, for 3 months it is around $40 a month, and for 1 year it is around $150 a year. And yes if you own a PS5 and have a digital library you can connect your portal to the PS5 and play your PS5 digital catalog on the Portal. You just need to make sure both your Portal and PS5 is connected to the internet and make sure your Portal is synced with the PS5. And your PS5 must be in sleep mode not fully turned off for the Portal to connect. So yeah you can pretty much be anywhere in the world and be able to turn your PS5 on from the Portal and play your PS5 when you are not home.
Ok so can I play the Digital games I already own then? For example Astro Bot🎉
Does it allow you to browse the internet and go on UA-cam?
I heard from GameStop it cost over a hundred for cloud
Can you play with someone that owns a console and invites you to a game ?
I have ps plus extra subscription can i do cloud gaming?
Thank you very much appreciated. I'm thinking of getting one
Dude thank you so much I thought I had pay for PlayStation 5 to play on it this helps a lot thank so much
Why not just stream to your laptop instead?
Can you connect more than one?
Is snow runner included?
Sad because I only have 200 for the portal and not for thr membership…
Can i use my psn account in cloud streaming, psn account needed or not ?
U need a account with ps+ premium,it’s on sale 30% until dec05 for premium subscription
So some can play on device portal a game (spiderman ) from cloud and a friend so can play on the playstation 5 ( batman) at the same time ??????
Yes because it's the cloud not the actual PlayStation
Just tried this and it didn't work
Watching from Canada,
Does the games include NBA 2k25?
