Playing The PS5 PlayStation Portal On Public Wi-Fi: Does It Work, And Is It Playable?

by admin



Sony recently sent out a big 3.0 update for the PS5’s remote play accessory, the PlayStation Portal. So now if you ever want to play the Portal out in public, you can connect to public wi-fi connections. Even if they require an authentication pages! So.. I wanted to put the device to the test. So that we can see the very obvious results of — sure, it works. But how playable is it? Folks, oh boy. Lemme tell ya. Actually, let me show you. It’s literally playing above this description. Unless you paused it. Unpause it. Now.

Do you know how to force the QR code? I am at a hotel and it showed the QR code once and hasn't seen it since?

@Mighty_Intern December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

I recently got this and i gotta say im really happy. Connection for me is always solid when im out and about. I use my phones hotspot and it works really nicely. some slow buffer here and there but i mainly play single player games like Alan wake or sly cooper etc. I have my ps5 hardwired at home and normally get speeds between 300 – 500 mbps.

Also at home i used it way more than my PS5. It's probably the mentality. When i think about firing up my PS5 on my big screen i feel like i have to play 3-5 hours in one sitting. but w/ the portal I don't have that thought.

but yeah overall really happy. it's gotten me back into gaming a little bit more. Especially during my lunch break haha.

Go inside my guy

Dude stop being a pantsy "Social Anxiety" but also a YouTuber

@SomewhereInMyCollection December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

Super trippy seeing the Delta Sonic I go to every week in one of your videos lmao 😂😂

@BlakeBoucher-p7v December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

I played several hours of Spider-Man 2 in my hotel room with minimal issues recently. It sure beats having to tote my ps5 along with me.

@bRicKhOoousE December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

This why I have a backbone and just my z fold for this it works great most of the time if not I just play xbox

@donnell751 December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

Ryan got money 😮😮nice Tesla 👏👏

@JacobB559 December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

The portal sucks with connection, you have to have the greatest WiFi for it to work

@hildasoriano9007 December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

Tech.# 565 says that design a little bit more oval round design. It should make a style. Because sony make walkman question what yellow at ? Dark ? Walkman pod right.

@Panda-masterr December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

I took mine with me to work today and played on my hotspot and it looks five times better than how it plays on those public Wi-Fi networks

@mikejohnson8391 December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

Need ps plus and wi-fi at home has be up and running. Had cases were public place had wi-fi it was connected to cloud but couldn’t load game when came home found out due to fact my Wi-Fi was down.

@StinkyBuster December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

Other channels film with a phone and add voice-over after

@CareerTribute12 December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

Having social anxiety is ok and is one of the reasons we love you Ryan

@danbooke2001 December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

The fact that you're not going inside negates this while video. This just seemed like a video to flex you drive a Tesla. Also, proof that Youtubers make more money than they say they do.

@megaplexXxHD December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

Man i dont know, i feel like if sony made a fullon complete handheld like a nee psp it would have been so much better. I understand theres people really happy with the psportal, i can get that. But still, sou missing out on a big portion of the market which in my opinion is currently on the rise

@playstationmultiverse6791 December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

Will you be buying the Mazda car that has a PS5 included in it?

@Pizzatird December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

The connection problems with the portal is going to end up making it be a failure. Sooo many people with these kinds of issues

@Ocelot35 December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

using google on public wifi is a win… maybe in ten years gaming will be viable xD

@DevilFan669 December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

So I’m amusing that you can’t play it in public areas

@darthreckoning4775 December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

This just proves to me this is a POS so happy I didnt waste my $$$ on this! A NEW PSP would been better!

@ChieftainChris December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

You should make a channel covering Steam and pc gaming. In my opinion, no one does content better than you do.

@phantomroy08 December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

You would probably have had more success if you went inside for a stronger connection – even just a post commentary or a note on-screen of the result would have been better imo – I’d like to see this tested again and with a hotel or two thrown in

@MrSupersonic2012 December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

God, watching you play Bloodborne on the portal was like when I tried remote playing it on my Vita.

This device is just overpriced for how limited it is. I think if it was $100 or $150 it would be more appropriately priced. I can do everything the portal does with my Steam Deck to the PS5 and then some. Sure it's double the price, but it offers everything the Portal does and more.

@rapturecalf6614 December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

Call me crazy but, I’d rather just hook up the console and tv in my car and run the internet off of a hotspot and run the power off of a solar panel electric generator

@sinaaslani4041 December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

What was the internet connection speed of the mac donald’s ?

@xxoxoblivionxoxx5765 December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

Cash Grab by Sony. Just buy the backbone for your phone works way better than portal and looks better

@SirSilverHair December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

While I don't have a Portal I used remote play on my Laptop during my holiday. Like you said, hotel WiFi is really usable and even with my PS5 being around 3000km away, remote play worked really good in Norwegian hotels (Played mostly Honkai Star Rail and Persona 5).

@ec5018 December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

i love the ps portal was fun playuing ff7 rebirth

@LeonBarnes85 December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

What an embarrassment….how much u paid for that

@stlcardinalsfan4655 December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

I can’t pull myself together to play my portal in public. I know I would get beaten up and it would get stolen. Lol 😂 just my luck. Also, I see some weirdos on Facebook who take a pic of themselves playing a portal on a beach on vacation. I’m like why would you want to do that?!

@JaySpoonn December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

I have social anxiety, and I would've just snuck my stuff in and set up in a corner.

@dominicmallano5633 December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

Why is this useless product so popular?

@M9_Prime December 14, 2024 - 11:01 am

I finished Yakuza 3 and 4 on remote play… I played on easy but I did it from work… Covid was a slow time
