Portal isn't the Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck killer that some thought it was, but it's a useful tool for gamers who can't play on their main TV or just want to enjoy games around the house. There is no change. For those who still don't know what it is, it's basically an 8-inch 1080p LCD display sandwiched between two halves of a standard DualSense controller, with adaptive triggers, It has haptic feedback, and all the perks of Sony's latest gamepads. . Its main (and only) purpose is to stream games via Remote Play. This requires his PS5 and a reliable Wi-Fi network.
We love what you can do with Portal, but some interesting technical choices can get in the way of fun.For example, wireless audio relies on Sony's proprietary Link protocol, so you can use Pulse Explore earphones and Pulse Elite headset (Sorry, Bluetooth earphones are not supported). Thankfully, it comes with his 3.5 mm audio jack for using wired headphones (assuming you still have wired headphones).
Additionally, poor network performance can cause problems. We don't recommend trying out multiplayer games or fighting titles where accuracy is paramount, as the lag can make the experience completely unenjoyable. However, I found it much better to have the console connected via Ethernet. This is almost mandatory for stable gameplay outside the home. We're hopeful that Sony can eventually improve these issues with future software updates, but even with the aforementioned caveats, Portal remains the best for streaming games via Remote Play. remains his all-in-one solution.
