I hope Sony let's us play the games that are on our accounts via cloud streaming. There is a large selection for the cloud streaming service right now in the beta, but either they need to add more games or unlock access to our games without needing the PS5.
Ill say this. I got a ps portal BEFORE i got my oled steam deck. Once i got that chiaki app on my steam deck, there was no going back to streaming my ps5 on my portal… for 2 main reasons. 1. Input latency is much better on the deck, and 2. The screen on the oled steam deck is MUCH BETTER. Whats even cooler is that chiaki works with HDR, so all those hdr games on ps5 has hdr enabled when streaming to the oled steam deck which i was REALLY surprised about, and that just makes for a better experience. Add in the fact that rumble also works and that it has wifi6 (just like the ps5 but UNLIKE the ps portal which is weird) and that i can use my own Bluetooth headphones, and that i can also stream my xbox and pc and all the other things the steam deck can do… its a no brainer if you have the money. I did enjoy using my portal though. I beat the entirety of death stranding on the portal, it was a blast.
I feel you. It’s so weird what shortcuts they took with WiFi and Bluetooth. My steamdeck is one of my favorite purchases of all time, I might get the OLED at this point screw it lol portal is great too I love it. Idk I feel like the handheld experience on it is nicer for me but I don’t have the OLED. Cloud streaming is a huge plus too for anyone that can use it
Literally I am the same way! I love handhelds! They are my true gaming love. First handheld was a purple gameboy color! I was looking at the portal specifically because I love playing my games handheld and know id get more use out of my ps5 if it could use it around my place. Nice videos man!
Yo we had the same gameboy color! As a married man, I play the portal waaay more than the ps5. It’s really convenient and a good experience. Thank you for the feedback! 🙏🏻
I just picked up the anniversary PlayStation portal .. I was able to snatch one after seeing your review and I’m happy with my purchase… I also recently picked up a Lenovo legion on a Best Buy sale and haven’t opened it lol …I really enjoy gaming on handhelds …I have a ps5 OG and Xbox series x but portability is awesome! Great video!
I own both the Steamdeck OLED and the Playstation Portal. Love both of them. I love the convenience of accessing my playstation 5 games and game saves. Steamdeck is also awesome but I am not a fan of having to download and configure the chiaki software to access my PS5 games. Yes, maybe I am lazy but the Playstation Portal is super easy setup and access. I just wish there was a way to play my physical Playstation 5 games on my Portal.
As much as PS is my preferred place to play games, it's also a business. Anything that promotes digital over physical games will be pushed and promoted that way. If they could get away with it with the console, they'd do it in a heartbeat. It's just sad that digital gamers don't back physical owners, especially since it benefits them too... 🤦🏽♂️
New to all this.. but for me with new update on portal with 120+ games already plus subscription and price of portal, 400 even. Portal it was over steam. Only crappy thing this beta thing.
It’ll be out of beta and even better. Definitely awesome value for $200. Steamdeck is an awesome separate device if you want to play pc games and emulate since your Portal is good for remote and cloud 👍🏻
I have both and love both they each serve a different purpose yes you can remote play your ps5 on steam deck but its no where close to remote playing on the portal with all the haptic feedback plus the screen is amazing
Hey man. Do you know if I could do the initial set up of the portal to my ps5 when its in a different country? Also at that distance will I still be able to play single player games smoothly? I have good internet both sides and ps5 is wired
I don’t think so because it needs to be on the same WiFi during setup if I remember correctly. Once you’re able to set it up you should be good to play anywhere as long as you’re on WiFi like you said
A guy with both, the new update for the portal, I kid you not, I’m playing ps5 games streaming like native. Ps5 is packed away. Streaming on the portal is really like native. Haven’t played my steam deck in a while, oled at that. Matter of fact, my steam deck will be sold soon
Cloud streaming for it is so good. I definitely know what you mean because if I’m home or on good WiFi, the portal works perfect. It’s a reason to buy more PlayStation games over Steam 😅😅
@@fudeezyy can you imaging when this beta is over on the portal what they can push towards us? I definitely don’t mind paying the premium a month. I don’t notice no micro stuttering and when you’re lost into it, you forget you’re even streaming…. And mannn, for a 1080 screen, the visuals is stunning and I see ray tracing like reflections when playing. Sony heading in the right direction. Imagine if they let us buy ps5 games and we can stream it on the portal??? Bro, game over at that point !
@julesthatruth1993 remote play lets you buy any PlayStation games and stream it to the portal -just as long as you’re on WiFi. I can’t wait to play the new monster Hunter on the portal lol For a beta it’s insane. I just have too many subscriptions and played most of the games already
I bought the portal because it was the cheapest and easiest set up option to do remote play. I don't play on PC so buying a steam deck and then repurchasing all of the games I play wouldn't be worth it. Also buying the steam deck just to stream games would be way more expensive. The g-cloud is also more expensive and just doesn't feel as good in the hand as the portal does. I didn't want to buy a telescopic controller that I had to grab, then put on and then open the app, all on a smaller screen. You literally just turn the portal on and play. I've tried playing in a different state and it works great. Along with the new updates I'm glad I purchased it. Put about 60+ hours on it. It's helped me complete some games I've wanted to finish but never had the time due to travel or sharing the TV my PS5 is hooked up to.
Definitely agree I think it’s awesome value for the $200 especially with cloud streaming now. Remote on the deck works but I can’t go back after using the portal lol
Personally given the huge price difference i don’t think is a fair comparison but also for 200$ the Portal is very good i personally buy all my games through the PS store so they’re all available for me to play at any point. with good connection you never really feel like you’re streaming the gameplay.
For sure agree lol everyone was in my mentions trying to claim that you don’t need a portal if you got a steamdeck. I noticed that yeah you don’t need it but it’s a nice thing to have, especially in your case if you got a lot of games through the ps store
I just bought a PlayStation portal because of the new update for cloud streaming but I’m confused if I’m still to get the steam deck because my PC library is full literally lol I just have to download and play
Yeah you can download games to the Steamdeck from the steam library. Not all run well but the verified ones run the best. It’s like having a switch/gaming laptop
@@fudeezyy You can, i've actually played through some games on the cloud on my deck :) the performance was pretty descent but i was wondering if the portal had some edge on performance being an sony device
I have a steam deck and I just got a Playstation portal and if it's on both game pass and Playstation plus premium I'm probably gonna play on my portal because it's very much that imersive ps5 experience
Good vid mate; however, if you pay for PSplay for Linux it works just as well as the portal on steam deck. Truely no use for the portal. Unless steam never makes another consol. I will never get one. 😅
Appreciate the feedback! 🙏🏻 No way you can cloud stream their beta? 👀 I thought the same til I pulled on the grey one. It’s unnecessary technically but so good lol
I have the Stream Deck OLED, the Lenovo Legion Go, and the Nintendo Switch OLED. I want to sell my Legion Go and get the Portal. I don't own a PlayStation 5, but I'm considering getting the Pro model in the next few days, ideally a week before Christmas; I already have it in my cart, lol. Should I buy the 30th Anniversary Edition of the Portal? I really want to get it from Best Buy because I have a Total Membership there, which includes a warranty for any electronics I purchase without additional cost. However, they don't carry the 30th Anniversary Edition. I'm feeling torn at the moment!
@@fudeezyyI do like it; it's very nice and has a large screen, although it's not OLED. The only downside is the battery life when it's not plugged in, and it tends to overheat. It's essentially a gaming laptop in the form factor of a large Nintendo Switch. It's quite powerful and can run all games, depending on the TDP, resolution, and settings. It handled everything I tried on it without any issues. However, I haven't used it in about four months, so it just sits unused now. I usually play on my Nintendo Switch more than anything else. I'd like to get a PlayStation 5 to try out its exclusives.
I don't have any handhelds yet ...I have a Quest 3 and can play gamepass & PS5 via remote play on a giant 2D screen which is cool but I am interested in a steamdeck or portal still. The thing that puts me off about the steam deck is just the price really and maybe not getting the haptics and cloud streaming the portal has but the portal doesn't allow Bluetooth headphones which is a real turn off for me so I'm still undecided. If I could get a refurb OLED 512gb Steam Deck for around £400 I would probably bite.
You can’t go wrong either way. For me Bluetooth isn’t a deal breaker and the portal is easier cost of entry. Do you have more steam games than ps5 games? That could help you make a decision
@fudeezyy No I only have a few old steam games as my PC is old so mainly buy PS4/PS5 games digitally and sub to PS+ premium. I've been trying out GeForce Now and Luna too as I like how PC games can have better graphics but I don't have the fastest Internet so it can be a bit jittery. I think if I could get a Portal for less than retail price I probably would but in the UK they are still £200 and the other thing is that I do have Gamepass so the portal would be limited compared to say the Steam Deck.
@ the portal would get the most use since you have so many ps5 games and you’re already subbed to premium tbh. Both is awesome too but if I was in your position I’d start with the portal for sure
800p vs 1080p. 1080p wins even if the 800p Steamdeck is OLED. Sony figuerd out the streaming. The ROG Ally X looks better than the Steamdeck. Love the Deck though.
$500-$700 vs $200 It’s not even comparable. If you’re a person that just wants to play portable around the house or yard it’s great but I don’t think it’s viable outside the home or business with good WiFi
I’m hearing conflicting things considering hotels and 5G hotspots. You get more with the deck for a higher price but I had a lot of comments saying save $200 and just get chiaki on the deck
If you are more of a PS gamer go for the Portal but are you a steam gamer take the deck but the deck is already 3 years and is getting outdated. With the Portal you play high end PS games.and with 5G mobile hotspot the Portal works perfectly
The ps5 portal is by far the best deal, but it's not a steam deck. It's apples and oranges. But if u wanna access to ps5 games and I don't have a ps5, then it's a great product to have. Also, it's only in beta for the time being. It can only get better, right?
If you click the track pad it takes you to the ps menu to back out of the game. Remote play is cool on the deck but I think the experience is better on the portal
@blackdynamite3911 it took me a minute to figure out too lol Portal’s really good. Like I said the deck does a lot but it just doesn’t match the portal experience
I feel you. I tried remnant 2 on there and it was just so bad. Dragon Age the Veilguard was able to run well with some tweaks but that game was not very fun
If you have kids then the portal would be an excellent Xmas present, whether or not you own a PS5. However if you do have a PS5, it’s definitely a must buy in my opinion if you travel a lot, have family that takes over the TV, and yeah a much cheaper price than a Steam Deck, even though the device allows you to play a vast library of games
Definitely if you have kids or are married. I get way more use out of mine than the PS5 lol the ps5 is just there to send the game to my portal at this point 😂
Reasons the steam deck oled is a worthy upgrade if you care about these. 1. Little bigger and more colorful display. 2. Its 90hz as supposed to 60hz meaning it’ll be more smoother. 3. Faster ram which could give a tiny boost in performance. 4. Has higher base storage with 1tb over the 512gb model. 5. Has a better WiFi card, which could help with better connectivity. For me I’m going for the ally x because it has most of what I listed and vastly improves on them. Sorry for the long message hope this helps
Thank you! The performance upgrades make it seem worth it. I’m just worried they’ll drop the Steamdeck 2 when I buy this 😂 Rog Ally was awesome but mine broke. I hope it’s better now that the new version is out
The Portal is lighter, never gets hot, has WAY better battery life, a bigger screen with higher res. It also has a better form factor, and all of the dualsense controller features. Saying the Portal is pointless if you have a steam deck, was always a dumb/fanboy argument... 🤷
Facts lol like just because it streams games too doesn’t make it the best way to stream your ps5 games. Forgot about the heat and jet engine fan, good points 👍🏻
Ok. If you own an oled tv or know someone who does please put whichever other tv on a HDR movie right next to it, in a pitch black room…. Then you will be sold. The best example I can give you is that I’ve been gaming in the deck instead of my pc screen even when I have the free time just because of HDR and amazing colors of the deck. PS: I would rather have oled and hdr than higher settings or resolution.
I know what you mean lol my monitor is an oled and my tv is an LG oled. I’m just scared I’ll upgrade my steamdeck just for a 2 to be announced the next day 😂
@ ufff. Yeah I know. It is a understandable feeling. It took me a while to order one for the same reason and I regretted but your situation is different. You already have one. You could use yours as a Christmas gift 🤣 and that way you have the perfect excuse to buy the oled for yourself lol
The Ps portal and steam deck isn’t even on the same category the PS portal can’t really do much without buying the $20 subscription to cloud stream or ps5 so u need to have both system and the steam deck,rog ally x,Lenovo go and msi claw those are mini pc tat just require internet

Would be a sick idea tbh. Hoping they’ll add more in the future
Wish they’ll update to where you can download for offline gaming somehow without wifi
Same

Don’t have them. Yet
I bought the portal because it was the cheapest and easiest set up option to do remote play.

I agree! Currently working through metaphor rn and there’s no way I could play 100 hours in my living room lol portal feels great and is seamless
it's only $200 u get what u pay for and i love my portal and if i wanna play computer games i got a computer but i prefer my ps5 and xbox and switch
Definitely agree I think it’s awesome value for the $200 especially with cloud streaming now. Remote on the deck works but I can’t go back after using the portal lol
Wondering if the switch 2 will have a way to add andriod apps
Idk Nintendo is pretty weird about third party apps

Thank you! The performance upgrades make it seem worth it. I’m just worried they’ll drop the Steamdeck 2 when I buy this 😂
Rog Ally was awesome but mine broke. I hope it’s better now that the new version is out
I have the portal and the oled deck. Hardly use the deck now 😐
I might slowly be getting there too. Buying Monster Hunter on PS5 for the sole reason of remote play with the Portal 😅
If money is your topic, go portable.
all other topics.. go SD OLED
thanks
You can do it all on the deck but the experience on the portal is really damn good
Had to show my girlfriend this part 8:10. 😂😂 I know how you feel!
Had to be real 😂
The Portal is lighter, never gets hot, has WAY better battery life, a bigger screen with higher res. It also has a better form factor, and all of the dualsense controller features. Saying the Portal is pointless if you have a steam deck, was always a dumb/fanboy argument... 🤷
Facts lol like just because it streams games too doesn’t make it the best way to stream your ps5 games. Forgot about the heat and jet engine fan, good points 👍🏻
Steam deck its way better
Love mine
Ok. If you own an oled tv or know someone who does please put whichever other tv on a HDR movie right next to it, in a pitch black room…. Then you will be sold.
The best example I can give you is that I’ve been gaming in the deck instead of my pc screen even when I have the free time just because of HDR and amazing colors of the deck.
PS: I would rather have oled and hdr than higher settings or resolution.
I know what you mean lol my monitor is an oled and my tv is an LG oled. I’m just scared I’ll upgrade my steamdeck just for a 2 to be announced the next day 😂
@ ufff. Yeah I know. It is a understandable feeling. It took me a while to order one for the same reason and I regretted but your situation is different. You already have one.
You could use yours as a Christmas gift 🤣 and that way you have the perfect excuse to buy the oled for yourself lol
@joseandresjulienbarriere8786 not a bad idea 😂 I almost pulled on the white one but the price was steep. I’ve modded mine with a 1 tb ssd too
Steamdeck easy lol
In most cases yes 👍🏻
Theres no way we're actually comparing these two.
2 completely different things but they share remote play for ps5 owners
This is an apples to oranges comparison.
I said that too lol
Which one to buy ? Why is this even a video lol
If it’s not for you that’s cool bro
The Ps portal and steam deck isn’t even on the same category the PS portal can’t really do much without buying the $20 subscription to cloud stream or ps5 so u need to have both system and the steam deck,rog ally x,Lenovo go and msi claw those are mini pc tat just require internet
I agree. It’s situational for sure
YOU SHOULD SELL BOTH LCD STEAMDECK & THE PLAYSTATION PORTAL AND YOU THAT MONEY TO GET YOUR SELF A STEAMDECK OLED !!!! SMH 🤦♂️💯🔥
Definitely keeping the portal but I’m considering the OLED deck. My luck is just so shit the second I buy it they’ll announce the Steamdeck 2 lol
The portal is the most useless handheld to ever come out lmao
The Steam Deck is the only correct answer
But what if your someone like me that don’t play no other games including games on my phone besides PlayStation games?
Then portal is probably best
