Overview
- Sony’s Takuro Fushimi told TechRadar that PS Portal is now the most-used device for PS5 Remote Play, surpassing mobile, PC, PS5 and PS4.
- PS Plus Premium members can now stream games directly to PS Portal from the cloud, enabling play without a home PS5 across a catalog of more than 2,800 titles.
- Fushimi reported higher engagement among Portal owners, with average usage around two hours per session, according to Eurogamer’s write-up of the interview.
- Push Square estimates the accessory is owned by roughly 5% of U.S. PS5 owners, noting this is an outlet estimate rather than official sales data.
- Recent Push Square reader polls show a shift from 2023 reluctance to reported uptake, with about 51% of respondents saying they own the handheld and 32% using it at least weekly, which reflects that community rather than the broader market.
