PlayStation Portal remote player brings the PS5 experience to the palm of your hand. It includes the key features of the DualSense wireless controller, including adaptive triggers and haptic feedback*. The vibrant 8-inch LCD screen is capable of 1080p resolution at 60fps, providing a high definition visual experience that’s expected from the high quality games created by world-class developers.

PlayStation Portal is the perfect device for gamers in households where they might need to share their living room TV or simply want to play PS5 games in another room of the house. PlayStation Portal will connect remotely to your PS5 over Wi-Fi**, so you’ll be able to swiftly jump from playing on your PS5 to your PlayStation Portal. PlayStation Portal can play supported games that are installed on your PS5 console and use the Dualsense controller. It also includes a 3.5mm audio jack for wired audio. PS VR2 games, which require the headset, and games that are streamed through PlayStation Plus Premium’s cloud streaming, are not supported.***

PlayStation Portal remote player will launch later this year for 199.99 USD | 219.99 EURO | 199.99 GBP | 29,980 YEN. We’ll have more details soon on when pre-orders begin for PlayStation Portal.

Quite the jump from 199 but add another 140 dollars and you get a machine that handles Ps5 remote play, emulation, playing games locally and streaming from your PC. Sure the screen is worse but a Steam Deck is so much more value for money. This seems like a small return for quite a lot of money.

Edit: I forgot about Game Pass. Beep.

It's really ridiculous. It costs $273 (without VAT) in Germany. And for what? You can't even play Playstation games from their cloud service.

[–] hogart@feddit.nu 1 points 1 year ago

273!? Oh crap. I didn't even realise pricing will be off for us in europe. I'd be surprised if they sold more than 1000 units to Sweden.

The European price is VAT-included.

Not that that makes it a good price by any means.

[–] llii@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeah, that’s why I removed the VAT. It’s 300€ inclusive VAT, that’s 325 USD.

[–] PonyOfWar@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nope, not sure where you got that from. It's 220€ VAT-included.

[–] llii@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

They've changed the price in the blog post. There ist still the old price in my feed reader.

220 € is more reasonable.
