Among the exciting features is the fact that the PlayStation Portal connects remotely to your PS5 over Wi-Fi, so you can seamlessly switch from playing on your console to the handheld. It also features two controllers on each side that look and feel like Sony’s PS5 DualSense controllers, with support for adaptive triggers and haptic feedback.
It can also play media, such as movies and TV shows, as it mirrors your PS5‘s home screen. It requires an internet connection of at least 5Mbps, and Sony recommends 15Mbps for the best experience.
It measures 240 x 100 x 25 mm and weighs 350 grams and has a battery life of up to 5 hours and it comes with a carrying case and a USB-C charging cable.
Sony PlayStation Portal Compatibility
The PlayStation Portal will work with all PS5 games that are installed on your console. However, it will not work with games that are streamed through Sony’s upcoming cloud gaming service. The PlayStation Portal will be available later this year priced at $199.99, or UGX 800,000 before taxes.
The PlayStation Portal is a new way to play PS5 games on the go. It’s a great option for gamers who want to be able to take their favorite games with them wherever they go.
