There’s a lot of excitement among the fans about the PlayStation Portal. Sony has only recently announced the handheld PlayStation device and fans are going wild with the scope of the console. With the handheld market being dominated by the likes of Nintendo Switch and Valve’s Steam Deck, PlayStation’s new device is expected to stir things up.

An industry insider has recently highlighted a specific claim made by Sony on their official PlayStation Portal website, and things look good for handheld fans. The feature will open more playability and flexibility options with the Portal remote player.

PlayStation Portal Remote Player offers more flexibility

PlayStation announced the PlayStation Portal remote player with a focus on giving gamers more options to play their favorite titles. The specs of the newly announced device look pretty decent and we believe the console will pull off most games without breaking much of a sweat.

However, PlayStation Portal needs to be launched first for us to know better about its performance. Despite this, expectations about the Portal are understandably sky-high. Now, a new detail looks to make the device even more lucrative for handheld lovers.

Industry insider Hunter pointed out one feature on the PlayStation Portal website and fans are loving the indications of this. According to Hunter, the Portal will be usable over any Wi-Fi and not just your home network. A minimum 5Mbps is all you’ll need to experience your PS5 games on Sony’s handheld device.

While a recommended speed has been set at 15Mbps by Sony, it’s also claimed that a slower speed won’t hamper the gaming experience significantly. The revelation is undoubtedly welcome news for the fans, as they can now carry their gaming device with them anywhere.

PlayStation Portal will shake up the handheld market

The handheld gaming console market is intensely competitive nowadays. The Nintendo Switch is easily the highest-selling handheld console that has a huge number of fans. Launched in 2017, the Nintendo Switch has tons of exclusive titles from multiple extremely popular franchises.

With the PlayStation Portal entering the market, it’s expected to stir things up for the fans. If the Portal remote player produces decent performance, it will stomp over both the Switch as well as the Steam Deck. Both these consoles have some years into them and sometimes struggle with high-demanding titles. If the Portal can manage to run even PS5 exclusives seamlessly, then it can easily be one of the better options in the market right now.
