As a reminder, the PlayStation Portal, or Project Q, is (according to leaks) based on Android. It doesn’t run the games itself, it merely streams them from your PS5 and your handheld then serves as a controller with its own display.

I’m wondering why anyone would prefer that over simply using a regular Android phone with a good controller and the PS Remote Play app?

    This gets a huge meh from me. It’s a wannabe switch/steam deck that’s basically good enough in most cases for someone that will likely be in front of their ps5 to use it effectively anyway, given that most homes don’t have adequate wifi coverage for high throughput. And relying on home internet upload speeds it a whole other caveat. Still relies on a cloud service, so once Sony decides to shut that down then it’s 100% e-waste.

    No thanks.
