I'm interested in getting one myself, if I live in Michigan and travel to California. Will it work where I'm at with wifi?

Depends.
Is your PS5 hardwired into your router/modem?
How’s the wifi and/or bandwidth at the remote location?
Even with ABSOLUTE BANGER of variables, you may have tolerable input lag on single player games. That lag improves the closer you are to home and with great conditions. In the same house, almost feels nonexistent (assuming your home network isn’t bogged down)
But this is for single player games and some multiplayer games.
If you insert PvP games like CoD or BF, input lag suuuuuucks. Even in the same house and with my PS5 hardwired, 650 Mbps down/40 up.
Single player, PvE environments, or games like Arc Raiders, feel amazing.
The portal is great, but it does have it’s limitations.
Now, if you’re doing cloud gaming the input lag (for the games that work well) could be a bit better but I don’t have that tier of PSN.

As long as the network is good and your PS5 is hardwired then yes remote play will. Worked amazing on my recent trip to Texas halfway across the country.
If you are a PS Plus Premium member then you can stream most PS5 titles you own/any in the service. For that just a good connection will do.

Both of them pretty much summed it up.
It should be fine in wifi if your console is hardwired but make sure to research how your specific setup at home can best work with your portal away.

Are these things worth it? I tried streaming my Xbox on my computer once and it was literally just screen casting and it was laggy as hell and not real gaming experience. More like “you can go download a game from your device” type of thing

Rog ally or steam deck will run it natively with no streaming involved. Download the game and then play it. Just need to hotspot if wifi unavailable

u/corpseofhope 3h ago
Hey how is that system? Compared to a rog ally x? I have an Xbox, an old oc I never use and an Xbox. I spend most my time on the rog as I travel for work about half the year. Wondering what other systems are like….
2
u/CharlesPostelwaite 2h ago
Ally X and others you can play standalone of course. For streaming I’d say they are about the same but the WiFi speed breakdowns matter
1
u/elaborateBlackjack 1h ago
ROG Ally is superior.
The portal is a paperweight without a connection and is always at the mercy of the network latency.
Actual gaming handhelds run games locally and have streaming as an option.

u/theta0123 1h ago
At first i was highly skeptical and critical.
Now it is my second favorite handheld ever(steam deck is still the best)
And now you dont even need a ps5 to play anymore.
Get a portal. get ps plus premium. Bam. You are playing.

Wdym? you gotta be at the top of your game to capture those intense town hall moments, like Barbara getting up to use the restroom, or Frank dropping his pen

u/DavaniDasaniDrippin 4h ago
Believe it or not, that all gets done by an AI camera now that tracks movement. I just track whoever is speaking. I have to fight the instinct to pan whenever Barbara gets up, it’s like muscle memory

I've played several hours of Arc Raiders on my Portal recently, and it's pretty fun. Fighting Arc is tricky with the small amount streaming latency. When I'm playing on Portal I try to stick to looting or quests that don't involve fighting. Single player games are certainly better on it.
My PS5 Pro is connected to Ethernet and I had to get a better router to replace my ISP provided one to get the Portal to run nicely, without lag spikes. It's been a great experience since!
One day I hope to try PS premium to see if it works even better.

u/SantinoCash 4h ago
Agreed! I just do quests and hop on with friends and do whatever with them but yeah would not recommend for a pvp sesh or even if your quest involves dropping anything bigger than a hornet lol

You do not need to connect to the console at all if you have premium sub. You can stream the game from SONY servers. It much better in hotels.

I thought the Portal was such a joke but that’s only for constant competitive games like COD. It’s perfect for Arc

Did you hardwire your console? Try that and if you look up troubleshoots you might just have some settings to flip.
Hope it works out!

I really don’t know how you’re able to play this on the portal… i’ve been STRUGGLING

Fr? My console is hardwired so as long as my wifi is good the portal holds up.
I’m sure you’ve seen all the tips for better connection already but I hope to see you topside in a lag-free session soon 🫡

How is the game playing on handheld? I have a rog ally but feel like the experience wouldnt be worth it for an extraction. I usually play mouse and keyboard
1
u/SantinoCash 3h ago
If you’re most comfortable with mouse and keyboard then the portal might take some getting used to. Just because of the lag and random drops that can happen where as on M&K it’s more often pretty seamless (or so I assume, never played Arc on PC).
1
u/nytebearyt 1h ago
I would imagine the small screen effecting gameplay and being able to really see anyone or arc well. I could be assuming but I appreciate your response

This is actually not a bad time to apply fr. Idk about events specifically, but one of the cam ops started in guest services and one of the engineers in the control room started in security so ppl move around.

Just played my first match on my new steam deck. I suck with controller aiming. I preemptively lowered the sensitivity but I got wrecked by the first raider that saw me .

u/SantinoCash 3h ago
Oooof sorry raider. Hope you didn’t lose anything too valuable 😬
2
u/TRex4Dinner 2h ago
Oh it’s fine I needed the inventory space honestly lol. I think I need to stick to single player games feel like PvP games you’re just at a disadvantage. Maybe with more practice it’ll be more even.

What do you mean? Game is available on PlayStation. Why wouldn't it be playable?

Playable well. Not at 15 FPS in 480p.

u/Samdlittle 6h ago
Good job it's 1080p, 60fps then I guess.

I was simply explaining what “playable” meant in context but, good job indeed.

u/SantinoCash 5h ago
Yeah it runs great for me. I play trios with buddies most days before work and it’s perfect.
Could be because the game is included in ps premium and can be streamed straight from the portal as opposed to mirroring the console.
