Gives the portal so much extra value now 🎉

Just picked up the Portal this week and holy balls is the streaming super smooth.

I was close to selling my Portal and probably my PS5. Since the stutter is fixed I’m doing a 180 and keeping both.

As soon as this update dropped, the wait started for this video lol. You never disappoint with your Portal coverage... 😎👍

[daboosa]

Best video that’s covered these improvements! Thanks for the video 👍🏼

Ordered Portal just now and just because of this video and the update. Excited! Thank you!

[Londonwall]

Thank you for this - amazing as always. Ps will you be getting a PS5 Pro and/or PSVR2 during Black Friday?

I was able to play 2 different games at the same time while on my ps5 and ps portal this morning

When the portal came out I thought it looked really cool and then when I heard what it could do I said no and didn't buy it. But because of this I literally just placed an order for one. Thank you!!!

Good video. This is how the portal should have been released at launch. It never has worked well streaming from the ps5 but the cloud streaming works excellent. Just need a better game selection now. I’m sure the games that are currently on there are the best streaming ones. With most games, you don’t notice the lag from controls to game. A couple of the racers you can notice and little lay.

Just came across this video and thank you for the unbiased full in depth review. I come across many that only state why they love it or why they hate it and I love how you weighed the pros and cons. I just got mine and I usually wait about a year after a product comes out. First, because I’m not going to pay scalpers prices but second is that I do think the very first units have the most problems that can be improved. I’m super excited for mine and I also preordered their new stand and case which I think comes out on the 17th. Got a new Subscriber here 😊

I will be upgrading to PS Plus Premium this weekend during Black Friday discounts

As an Australian it's such a bummer that we can't get the streaming option. I have GeForce NOW here and it works VERY good. There is no reason we shouldn't have it. But I have noticed with the update that input latency and bitrate has improved on the portal so I'm thankful for that.

Is there a way I can play a game on my portal aswell as use the SkyGO app on the PS5 console at the same time? So my idea is I would like to play a game while watching the football in the background is this doable?

[MobileDecay]

I just traded an iPad for a portal today for this. I just finished setting it up. I don't have a PS5. I had a small amount of input lag, and my game became blurry and laggy after a few minutes, but in the first few minutes, the image quality looked native. I have 500 up and down and a great router.

I’m still having trouble seeing the value here. Other than the controller/grips, what am I getting that I can’t get with my tablet I already own? I can cloud game on it already, I can connect to my PS5 and remote game already, I can connect controllers to it already, plus I can use my Bluetooth ear buds rather than having to purchase their proprietary earbuds (such a terrible idea here by Sony). Also, this device was born to do one thing, and they are just now getting it stutter free? That makes me worry about long time support for it. If I’ve missed something it does that makes it of more value please let me know.

Looks like the winking man where you tested it. Nice

[waltwilliams]

Screw the portal we want a new PlayStation portable playing games natively ❤🎮

[Cn-gp]

The Fact that pro controllers Like Razer's Wolverine V2, Duel Sense edge and the Turtle Beach pro controller can cost up to $350😮 the Portal is a pro controller with a Screen and Cloud streaming for $250. Its a solid device

Thanks so much for the video - subscribed! Quick question please - and I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, but can two people (kids psn accounts) play fortnite together, one on the ps5 and another on the portal in the same household?...
