Sony PlayStation portal already has a remote release date. non-portable console which allows you to play PS5 video games via Remote Play, was introduced in May under the name Project Q, and a couple of weeks ago we learned about all its features and price. However, the most important thing remained unknown: when it will be available.

Of course, this is no longer a mystery. Sony has confirmed that the PlayStation portal It will arrive on November 15 in “selected markets”.. The Japanese company has revealed that the device can now be reserved in 11 countries, including Spain, via PlayStation Direct.

PlayStation Portal, “remote player” for PS5

From the very beginning, Sony tried to make it clear that the PlayStation portal it’s not a portable console. In its official statement, the Japanese company described it as remote playerand on the Spanish website, PlayStation Direct is now officially referred to as “remote player“.

The definition makes sense. After all, the PlayStation portal cannot run games natively and is limited to playing what works on PS5 via remote play. But even in this case, he faces additional restrictions. Let’s not forget that the device is not compatible with games played via streaming with a PlayStation Plus subscription.

In addition, it must remain connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the PS5, and this depends on whether the console will always be on. Therefore, their uses are very limited. For example, it is used to play from different rooms of the same house and nothing more. That is why, not wanting to offend anyone, today it is impossible not to see the famous controller in the PlayStation Portal.

This does not necessarily mean that the days are numbered. But given that PlayStation Portal can only be used with the PS5 and all the other restrictions, its price doesn’t help make it a bestseller.

The PlayStation Portal inherited the design and features of the PS5’s DualSense controller, including haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. An 8-inch LCD screen stands out in the center, through which games or other multimedia content are played in Full HD (1080p) resolution and at 60 frames per second. Those who want to buy it they will have to pay $199.99 or €219.99..
