r/PlaystationPortal

I bought my Portal years ago, I just thought picking up my game in bed would be fun. I used it once or twice, the connection never really stood up despite having great internet and a wired connection, and that was that. It gathered dust.

I picked it back up again this week. My son has just turned 5 months old and we’re starting to get some time back in the evenings, so I’d been playing my PS5 on the sofa again, and this week we came on vacation so I thought it’d be fun to see if it worked out here.

Guys, my baby goes to sleep at 8pm, I have been caning my PlayStation like I’m a teenage again for 5 hours after every night. It holds up ridiculously well, and I’m in a completely different country.

Honestly, I feel like this little screen with a DualShock attached to it has returned me to my roots.

What’s everyone playing on this Sunday afternoon? I’m currently finishing up high on life 2 for the platinum and struggling in what to play next 😬

Any suggestions?

I’m posting this here because before buying it, I mostly saw people raving about the portal and very few negative experiences. I have been playing Play Stations for over 25 years at this point.

I really wanted to like the it, but I’m returning it. I have very strong Wi-Fi with a mesh system and tested it even right next to my PS5/router. Remote Play was inconsistent and connection was cut multiple times. And when it did work, the input lag/latency was still noticeable enough to bother me.

PS Plus cloud streaming worked better, but the game selection feels heavily geared toward story/single-player games. Sports games in general are basically nonexistent, and FPS games just don’t feel playable with the latency.

Cool device and I understand why people like it, but for the games I actually play, it just doesn’t work well enough. I imagine because this product is still relatively new, PS will continue to develop the game selection and improve the latency issues.

Saw a PS Portal on the shelf in a store... didnt know it existed. My eyes lit up cause it reminded me of the psp and i bought it right away.. I had a psp growing up and it was big part of my gaming experience and man no phone or pc ever came close to it.

On top of that, the fact that u can just do cloud streaming on game is crazy to me... like its crazy that you dont need to download the game or pay for it!!! Just stream on cloud!! Though there are limited games, I hope they keep releasing more in the catalog.

That's it, thats the rant ig..

I feel the OG PSP's real comeback might as well be this PS Portal... hope to see more upgrades

Thanks PS team, lowkey nostalgic thing yall shipped

I'm seriously thinking about getting one.
I want to play offline games, but actually about 80% online too.
Black Ops 2 / FC 27
I have a 100 Mbit connection.

With the new update, are y’all liking the new battery saver 80% option? I’m thinking about swapping back. I literally see no difference.
