I apologize if this is a stupid question, but I just got a Portal a couple days ago, got around to trying it out. I was playing Destiny 2 but could not figure out which button was the “touchpad” button, or how to bring up the director menu. What on the Portal controller do you press in lieu of having the touchpad on a regular PS5 controller?
Guys my left analog stick rubber cap is gone due to wear and tear. I cant find any replacement for it. I tried used thumb grips but it doesnt fit , since the analog on the portal is small. Please help!!!
Hey, does anyone have any experience with the ps portal. I don’t use mine a lot but recently I’ve been getting such a poor connection to the point that it’s not a great experience. I’m actually thinking of cutting my losses and selling it and just sticking to the switch 2 for handheld. I cannot easily use an Ethernet as it’s not practical. It never used to be this bad and nothing has really changed. Before I either sell it or throw it out of the window has anyone got any ideas?
For reference my broadband is with EE. I’m using the Hub 7 pro. They are both on 5ghz network
EDIT - I think I have managed to fix it. It’s not ideal but I have plugged an Ethernet cable to the WiFi extender and it’s recognised it as a LaN connections. It’s not perfect but it’s better. The only issue is my download speed has reduced a lot, but the remote play has improved
So im looking in to buying a portal (dad of 5 kids) how does it work with saves and such. Do i end up creating new saves for my games or am i able to play the same saves from whats already on my ps5.
Just got a PS Portal. It’s paired to my partner’s PS5 which I also have an account on. The monitor connected to the PS5 keeps mirroring my Portal and I’ve already disabled HDMI Link. How can I turn this off? It’s unnecessary and I believe it’s contributing to the input lag on my Portal.
Another thing is, will I be able to play on my Portal while my partner plays on their account on the PS5? All tips/advice is helpful to make gaming a >!better!< experience. TIA.
So on average how much battery life does everyone get when playing on the portal? I find only a few minutes into streaming Madden 27 or Gears of war my battery was decreasing kinda fast now I see why some play while charging any tips?
Haven't done handheld gaming in ages and got the portal yesterday and its amazing. A little lag on the games sometimes but mostly it works like a charm.
Help please, I cant stream any of my games, i have PSPlus Premium, US account and connected to 5g wifi via a fiber connection (min 650 mbps)
I have tried rebooting everything but no fix 😢
PS4 PORTAL EDITION - CONCEPT
Concept / Fan Art
I made a PS4 Portal.
Real Portal is PS5 only, useless if you're still on PS4. So I designed one that actually works for us.
Top pic is it assembled. Bottom is both DS4 halves detached.
Sony ignoring 100M+ PS4 users is dumb. This would sell.
Would you cop if they dropped this?
Noticed the left hand side seems to be the L1 and L2 make a clicking noise. It doesn’t matter if I touch them it sounds the same. No noise like it on the RHS. Are they all like that or is there something loose?
Dear developers,
Finally, after 3 years in 2026, we can use the Portal for Remote Play/stream with 1080p without our PlayStation at home being switched on 👏 🤑
Next update :
Streaming Service
It’s a streaming device just add YouTube as an (app) or as a shortcut/bookmark on the Portal? (There is already a workaround for years, where you can go to YouTube through games)
Portal Offline Mode
Why can’t we install a selection of small games (pack) directly on the Portal?
I’m not saying full-size PS5 games! Just give us a selection of small games that we can download and play on a plane, train or holidays. So that we can play without Wi-Fi or a PS5 connection while travelling.
For example:
Chess,Tetris,Pac-Man,DOOM (can run on everything) ,Small indie games
,Puzzle games & Arcade games
🔮
Hi so as a trophy hunter im just wondering while streaming games and if you unlock trophies the 30 second clip you’d have on PlayStation can you still get the clips as your streaming or does it kinda cancel it out?
Trying to figure out if this setup would work while travelling.
We have:
One PS5 at home
One PlayStation Portal
One Steam Deck running Chiaki-ng
My adult PSN account with PS Plus Premium
My kids child PSN account on the PS5
The idea would be:
Me / Player 1: PS Portal → my Premium account → Cloud Streaming
My son / Player 2: Steam Deck → Chiaki Remote Play → our PS5 at home → his child PSN account
So the Portal would be running a completely separate cloud instance of the game, while the Steam Deck would simply be remotely controlling our physical PS5 at home.
Could we then play online multiplayer/co-op together?
For example, with It Takes Two:
Portal → Cloud streamed copy → Adult/Premium account
Steam Deck → Chiaki → PS5 at home → Child account
Would the child account on the PS5 be able to use my PS Plus online multiplayer benefits through Console Sharing, while my account is simultaneously cloud streaming the game on the Portal?
Basically I’m trying to get a Portal + Steam Deck two-player handheld setup with only one PS5 and one Premium subscription.
Has anyone actually tested this?
Hi all, I'm posting here in hopes that maybe someone can give me suggestions on what to do? Recently as I'm sure many UK members are aware, Sony rolled out their age verification, issue? It sucks.
I've tried across 2 weeks to try using face id, or getting a code sent to my number. Neither have worked. During the first week, I talked to an agent after harassing the robot multiple times. They seemed nice and understood the situation and said they'd forward on my case.
Once I received the email, it basically told me to just try again due to traffic. So I try again, many many times.
Today I decided to contact them again, this time explaining I've already done this and would really like something to be done! I've tried to be polite as possible, explaining everything and giving info they require. Only to be told it'll be forwarded on again. I ask just one more time if there's seriously not anything that can be done, only for this response.
I literally got cut off by Playstation support, I didn't even get to write a "thank you" or simple goodbye. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard while also being so irritated, they really aren't very helpful. You can see the agent immediately replied, then quickly sent me back to the robot agent. Cheers!
At $20 I couldn’t resist worth a shot ALL PS5 players add me
Well, im going to do a graduation on gastronomy, and it will cause me to get much away from home, i usually play on my ps or pc, but there i will no longer be able to do it for quite a while (4 months)
Being straight to the point, do you guys think is better to me to get a portal or a switch?
Had a lot of unhappy people in the PlayStation sub when I said I sold my steam deck and got this. I have my reasons and I’m still able to play my PS games whilst making some money selling the deck
