Sony has announced that the PlayStation Portal, previously known as "Project Q", will be released on November 15 in select territories. Preorders for the remote-play device have already begun in these nations, with additional preorders set to start in other territories next month. The PlayStation Portal allows PS5 users to play their games through Remote Play on an 8-inch display with 1080p resolution and a 60hz refresh rate. It includes all the features of a DualSense controller, such as haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, and connects to one PS5 at a time via Wi-Fi. While Sony claims that the battery life of the PlayStation Portal will be similar to the DualSense controller, this remains to be seen.
The PlayStation Portal will be globally released on Wednesday, November 15. Currently, users with a PS5 can place their preorders for the PlayStation Portal through PlayStation Direct if they reside in the US, the UK, and other European countries. In the US, the PlayStation Portal will have a starting price of $199.99. However, users in Canada and Japan will have the opportunity to pre-order the device starting on Friday, September 29. Furthermore, the launch of the PlayStation Portal will coincide with the introduction of the new Pulse Elite headset and Pulse Explore wireless earbuds, both compatible with the PlayStation Portal and PS5. The Pulse Explore earbuds will be available for purchase at the same price as the PlayStation Portal, while the Pulse Elite headset will start at $149.99.
When and Where Will The Playstation Portal Be Released?
Starting on Wednesday, November 15, the PlayStation Portal will be available in various countries including the US, UK, Japan, Canada, Germany, France, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands. Initial reactions on social media towards the PlayStation Portal were mixed, but the excitement was dampened by the upcoming price increase for PlayStation Plus. Although Sony has not officially addressed the cost of PlayStation Plus, PS5 users took to social media to express their concerns, hoping that Sony would reconsider their decision. Nevertheless, there are still users who remain curious about the capabilities of the PlayStation Portal, even though it may not offer the same features as the Steam Deck or the Nintendo Switch.
Rumors about an upcoming State of Play began circulating online alongside the news of the PlayStation Portal. While the exact number of units Sony will sell is yet to be determined, consumers will need to take into account the caveats and cost, which are expected to be significant factors.
