Over the past week, pre-orders for Sony’s PS5 portable streaming handheld device have been selling out. However, we learned today that some online retailers have started retaking PlayStation Portal orders from early adopters.
GameSpot reports that Walmart, Best Buy, and GameStop had reopened the pre-order process for Sony’s new piece of tech. As of writing this article, only GameStop is still taking reservations.
The PlayStation Portal will officially launch on 11/23/2023. It is priced at $199 and comes with the following specs:
- Beautiful 8″ LCD screen
- Take in every exquisite detail of your favorite games as they come alive on a brightly lit and gorgeous full HD screen.
- 60fps capable at 1080p resolution
- PlayStation Portal™ Remote Player can deliver silky-smooth gameplay at up to 60fps with high image clarity on its 1080p resolution screen3.
As far as the Wi-Fi requirements go, here’s what Sony recommends:
The streaming handheld was announced earlier this year. For a while, some of us thought this may be the long-awaited successor to the PlayStation Vita. How wrong we were.
The PlayStation Portal is Sony’s first-party answer for people who love streaming games from their PS5. While smartphones have been able to tap into Sony’s gaming machine from other locations remotely, the Portal provides a dedicated peripheral without the use of separate controllers.
This isn’t a terrible idea. It’s helpful if your PS5 is in the living room, and your spouse or kids want to watch something other than you playing Joel Golf Simulator.
