    So I seriously miss the target audience of PS Portal? Are they only targeting people who want to use this device in their own houses either in the bed or on the sofa? And that’s a pretty steep price for such a useless device.

      That fact that it can’t even play direct from the PS+ cloud gaming service shows what a half-baked device this is.

      In order for me to be interested it would have to be able to stream games in from my PS5, PS+ cloud gaming, and my PC. Maybe add Xbox GamePass streaming as well.

      Realistically it’s going to have to come from a third party if it wants all that, at which point you might as well just have a controller grip for your phone.

    PS Portal is a terrible device, but also name another device in the $200 price range you can use to stream PS5 games with good ergonomics and a good display…

    E: please read the last 5 words again before suggesting tablets and phones.

    Sony’s own PS Remote Play app has always been garbage. Even on PC, on phones, on anything. I never had faith they’d improve it for Portal. Sony has only disappointed me nonstop since 2011. Steam has only continued to win me over time and time again.
