Sony has just announced the launch date and the pricing for the highly-anticipated PlayStation Portal
The Sony PlayStation Portal, announced nearly a year ago, is set to be launched in Malaysia. According to the official PlayStation blog, Sony has shared the pricing and availability details for the Portal in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand.
The PlayStation Portal is a remote-play accessory for the PlayStation 5, enabling you to stream your games on a handheld device over a WiFi network.
The PlayStation Portal allows you to stream your PS5 games from your console, enabling you to continue playing if you need to move around the house or if the main TV is in use
It features an 8-inch LCD screen with a 1080p resolution at 60fps, and it includes a DualSense wireless controller with adaptive triggers and haptic feedback. To use the Portal, you'll need a reliable WiFi connection, as it doesn't support 4G or 5G mobile connectivity. However, it can be used outside your home network as long as you have access to WiFi with at least 5Mbps; for the best experience, 15Mbps is recommended.
The Portal has built-in speakers and a 3.5mm headphone jack, but it lacks Bluetooth support, relying solely on PlayStation Link wireless technology. This means you'll need to pair it with Pulse Explore wireless earbuds or the Pulse Elite wireless headset.
