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
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.
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
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.
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?
Nothing is owned... This handheld and all digital-only consoles will be nearly worthless in the future--the opposite of how retro collecting works today with extreme popularity.
@@YoursInYeshua I tell this to everyone that buys their stuff digitally. These companies always make it harder and harder for you to actually own their product.
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.
yes. I think As long as yall have 2 separate accounts. He log in to his own account on ps5 & you have your account on portal. I have ps5 & portal as well but it's just me. So I can't test it out. Unless I make a fake account but that's unnecessary in my case. But I think u should try it
I'm sticking with my switch. atleast the game I paid for is actually mine and is actually downloaded and played locally. this is a streaming device. when the company/streaming service shuts down permanently, what happens to your games? lol.
I know its the beta. But right now its not loading the game catalog. It's just showing the blue circle and that's it. That's why sony we want a real fkn handheld.
@StephenHowell-o8j If I have to fly to Chicago for 3 days I can take this with me and stream my Premium library. It's not a scam unless you don't use what you're paying for.
You have to make sure it’s updated and them go to settings and enable cloud play it’ll ask you to upgrade to PlayStation plus premium because that is the only one that works and then you will have to believe sign out and sign back in. But mine is not working so you might have a bit of trouble
@@matthewhibbard9807 no problem man but sometimes it takes a couple seconds just remember it’s the bata so it will get better and you do need a good connection for it to work but good luck man
Another basic update. They had a device like this come out an it failed miserably. Most people dont buy these to use with sn internet connection lol they buy it because they want to Play on the go. This only works if you wanna buy wifi on a plane or have a long layover at rhe airport but id rather just use my laptop at rhat point. Makes way more sense to get s onexplayer, steamdeck or legion pro at this point. An 160 bucks a year? Naw
Considering the Switch has onboard storage, a microSD card slot, and a larger catalog of games people actually want to play, yeah, I guess I can see that.
@Cyko.. And We can use cartridges on Switch but we can't do any of that with the portal. I really hope the portal gets some hardware mods that add those things to the portal
I bought a switch when it came out and only smash bros with it. I still only have smash on it and ive definitely gotten my moneys worth even with one game hahaha. I just picked up a portal on sale for black friday and dont own a ps5 literally for the ps5 exclusives lol

@@WhatGear do you think Sony will ever release a new dedicated handheld or just stick with the portal?

@@brandonjennings18 same
I think maybe their servers might be getting overwhelmed since they just dropped the update...
@@WhatGear I hope 🤞, I was hoping to take a nice number 2 while catching up on some titles

Yes, but the problem is it wakes my TV when it boots up...and I'm worried about screen burn in as it's OLED
are the games in the catalogue permanent and will continue to grow or will they change some games in it every month?

@@MileHigh-gd6vf no but your PlayStation has to be on sleep mode
No everything can be off. Just make sure before you leave you set your ps5 to awaken while in restmode
Only $160 a year to rent games. Thank you, sir. May I have another?
@@Cyko.. Less than the price of buying 3 full priced ps5 games. Sounds like a steal to me.
@@SickJigg They are stealing from you. You got that right.
Pretty stupid when they have devices you can just get the games an actual own an play with out s connection lol
mordern gaming is expensive, and that doesn't cost that much compared to gamepass ultimate
@Cyko.. I mean there's 30% off currently so it's 110 and 900 games for a full year for $9 a month and you think that's bad? Crazy 🤣

Just ordered one. Also Just got a PS5 Pro too. Haven’t had a a PlayStation in a long time.
I just brought ps5 825gb and now I see this update
Probably a dumb question, but I wanted this. My son has ps5. Now can I play this while he’s playing his console? I know before you couldn’t
yes. I think As long as yall have 2 separate accounts. He log in to his own account on ps5 & you have your account on portal. I have ps5 & portal as well but it's just me. So I can't test it out. Unless I make a fake account but that's unnecessary in my case. But I think u should try it
Yea, you need a PSplus pre.ium account
I can’t get my death stranding data to go from PS5 to portal so I had to restart the whole game on my portal
Have you backed up your save data on your console to the cloud
I'm sticking with my switch. atleast the game I paid for is actually mine and is actually downloaded and played locally. this is a streaming device. when the company/streaming service shuts down permanently, what happens to your games? lol.
trying blood omen but i cant start it. Says press start to play but where is the damn start button in the portal
It's not working for me at all
@@HanginWithHellsing same
@brandonjennings18 i heard it was working earlier today, but. I think they should do more testing on it before anything else
So if I buy this without a PS5 console, can I still mirror or project its screen on to a TV?
I know its the beta. But right now its not loading the game catalog. It's just showing the blue circle and that's it. That's why sony we want a real fkn handheld.
So we only need to avail a cloud storage. Not bad.
Scam just stream from the console don't pay for a membership with a garbage library.
@StephenHowell-o8j If I have to fly to Chicago for 3 days I can take this with me and stream my Premium library. It's not a scam unless you don't use what you're paying for.
Yoo.. how to do that 4:34
"Pause at any time"
2:52 Sony and PC Exclusives
It's still useless unless you paying £20 a month 😂😢😅
@@binay9499 allow the company make some money lol
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
That cloud streaming option doesn’t show up on mine.
You have to make sure it’s updated and them go to settings and enable cloud play it’ll ask you to upgrade to PlayStation plus premium because that is the only one that works and then you will have to believe sign out and sign back in. But mine is not working so you might have a bit of trouble
@ thanks for the info. Appreciate it. I have premium, so I’ll try the settings.

yet yall spend like $600 yearly buying the physical/digital games instead of a using a sub service
The Switch is better than the Portal.
Considering the Switch has onboard storage, a microSD card slot, and a larger catalog of games people actually want to play, yeah, I guess I can see that.
@Cyko.. And We can use cartridges on Switch but we can't do any of that with the portal. I really hope the portal gets some hardware mods that add those things to the portal
I could careless about cartridges the future is digital
@krakenNation Fuck the all digital future. They're already taking digital games that we paid for & you say you don't care about cartridges you crazy
I bought a switch when it came out and only smash bros with it. I still only have smash on it and ive definitely gotten my moneys worth even with one game hahaha. I just picked up a portal on sale for black friday and dont own a ps5 literally for the ps5 exclusives lol
