Sony’s PlayStation Portal: Release Date and Pre-Order Details

Below the surface of persistent rumors lies Sony’s eagerly anticipated handheld device, the PlayStation Portal. After much speculation, Sony has finally revealed the release date: mark your calendars for November 15th. Priced at $199.99, this portable gadget is set to revolutionize gaming by allowing you to stream PlayStation 5 games over Wi-Fi.

There’s a real possibility that the PlayStation Portal may sell out as fast as the PlayStation 5 did at its launch. That’s why Sony is limiting orders to one per customer during the pre-order phase. If you’re eager to secure one on launch day, rest assured that pre-orders are already available in the US and several other countries. Here’s what you need to know.

Where to pre-order the PlayStation Portal:

The PlayStation Portal is a handheld device that connects wirelessly to your PS5 via Wi-Fi. This means you can enjoy pre-installed PS5 games on the Portal’s impressive eight-inch LCD screen, offering visuals at up to 1080p and a smooth 60 frames per second. It also features controllers on each side, similar to Sony’s DualSense Wireless Controller for the PS5, complete with support for adaptive triggers and haptic feedback.

Unfortunately, the Portal doesn’t support Bluetooth, so it won’t pair with your regular wireless headphones. However, it does work seamlessly with Sony’s proprietary PlayStation Link wireless technology, allowing you to pair it with the upcoming Pulse Explore earbuds and Pulse Elite headset. And if you prefer a wired audio setup, there’s a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The PlayStation Portal lets you play PlayStation 5 games over Wi-Fi and connect to PlayStation Link-supported devices like the Pulse Explore or wired headphones.

At this moment, the only place to pre-order the PlayStation Portal ahead of its November 15 release date is through Sony’s official PlayStation Direct storefront. According to an update on the PlayStation blog, other retailers will start accepting pre-orders on September 29th. Keep an eye out for updates as we gather more information.

It’s important to note that pre-orders for the PlayStation Portal are currently limited to specific regions, including the US, UK, France, and Belgium. However, customers in other areas like Canada and Japan will also be able to place pre-orders starting on September 29th.
