The PlayStation Portal, now much more interesting since its update that makes it compatible with cloud gaming games, is preparing to make an announcement.
The PlayStation Portal has been much derided, but in the end it is a success. The remote play device was the best-selling accessory of the year in the United States. Despite its limitations, it was among the top sellers almost every month. Until now, buying without a PS5 at home has been completely useless, as the console is required to send the stream of your games to this portable hardware. But an update has redistributed the cards and the manufacturer seems to want to take full advantage.
Is a new PlayStation Portal coming soon?
Despite its limitations, PlayStation Portal has exceeded Sony's expectations and sales could still rise. Almost a year after introducing the remote device that lets you stream PS5 and PS4 games at home or on the go, the manufacturer has finally released a 4.0.0 update that enables streaming via cloud gaming. A highly anticipated feature that many believe should have been there from the start. However, be careful, it is not accessible to everyone.
To play your cloud gaming games on PlayStation Portal, you need a subscription to the PS Plus Premium service. This is one of the advantages of this formula. This new feature is currently being tested and there are only 200 compatible games. Will this be a sufficient argument to continue selling the device en masse? Sure, but the Japanese company has another idea. A new version has leaked and it still smells like cardboard
After the PlayStation 30th Anniversary Edition Sony would “soon” release a PlayStation Portal in black according to information from leaker billbil-kun. Aside from the special edition in PS1 colors, PlayStation Portal only comes in white as standard. Apparently this model would initially come onto the market in limited numbers. « We can also see that the initial quantities available for release will be limited » explains the Internet user on Dealabs. On the other hand, the price should not change and would be identical to that of the original model $219.99. In parallel with the PS Portal, the manufacturer would be working on a real PlayStation Portable console that would allow games to be played in a traditional way, but the launch would still be a long way off.
