PlayStation Portal is not a classic portable game console, but rather a tablet with a DualSense controller permanently attached to it. The device allows you to stream gameplay directly from the PS5 paired with it. It can be a console that is located in the same room as the Portal itself, but we can also connect to our home PS5 even from the other side of the world – as long as we connect via a Wi-Fi network with a sufficiently high bandwidth.
There is no shortage of people who claim that the Portal is a device without much sense. Critics point out that without an active connection to PlayStation 5, the “tablet-console” turns into a not very useful gadget. The fact is that the device does not allow us to play directly “from the cloud”. We also can’t run games and applications natively on it – without PS5, it’s just DualSense with a screen.
Others, however, point out that the Portal may prove to be a useful piece of equipment, e.g. for gamers who only have one TV set at home. The owner of the mini-console can simply connect to his PS5 without being ostracized by family members who would like to watch a new episode of their favorite series on TV at the same time, but do not necessarily want to watch our struggles in “God of War”. ” or “Spider-Man”.
PlayStation Portal is officially available in Poland. We know the price and release date
For a long time, it was not entirely certain that the latest Sony gadget would even hit the Polish market. The company has previously announced US and European pricing and release date. However, we knew nothing about availability and prices on the Vistula River. By the time.
On Thursday, the Polish branch of the Japanese company officially confirmed that the console will also officially come to Poland – on December 1, 2023. The company has started pre-sales of the device. And here’s a nice surprise: PlayStation Portal was priced at PLN 999. Taking into account its American and European price, we expected that we would pay approximately PLN 1,100-1,200 for this gadget.
Fortunately, this time Sony did not make the mistake from earlier this year, when the DualSense Edge controller premiered. Then the manufacturer charged PLN 1,199 for this accessory, which was an absolutely outrageous price. What’s even more absurd is that even 10 months after its premiere, this device is still offered at the same price.
PlayStation Portal. What specifications does the equipment have?
PlayStation Portal is a portable device with a built-in DualSense controller and an 8-inch LCD screen with a 60 Hz refresh rate. The presence of DualSense means that players can take advantage of all the functions offered by this controller (adaptive triggers and haptic vibrations).
The device supports Remote Play. If necessary, players will be able to quickly switch the game from the TV screen to PlayStation Portal and continue the game from another location.
