PlayStation Portal Player Midnight Black gaming console

Features

This is a portable gaming device that allows users to enjoy PlayStation 5-compatible games via WiFi. It allows users who do not own a PS5 console to stream and play compatible PS5 games directly from the cloud. Additionally, if you own a PS5, you can also enjoy games using “Remote Play”, which allows you to connect to your home PS5 via WiFi.

The new model continues to offer the same key features of the DualSense Wireless Controller, including an 8-inch, 1080p/60fps LCD display, 3D Audio, haptic feedback, and adaptive triggers. It will also include additional internal storage, the details of which will be revealed soon.

Cloud Streaming is available to PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers. By using the one-month PlayStation Plus Premium subscription included as a bonus with this product, you can enjoy hundreds of cloud-streaming-compatible PS5 games, including Final Fantasy XVI, Rise of the Ronin, and Exit 8, from the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog and Classics Catalog, via WiFi at no additional cost.

Furthermore, the PlayStation Plus “Game Catalog” will add Square Enix’s ‘Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation’ this November, and Koei Tecmo Games’ “Dynasty Warriors ORIGINS” in December.

By subscribing to PlayStation Plus Premium, you can stream compatible PS5 titles even if they are not included in the “Game Catalog” or “Classics Catalog.” You can also access the PlayStation Store via the mobile app “PlayStation App” or a web browser on your smartphone or PC, and purchase cloud streaming-compatible downloadable PS5 titles yourself. This allows you to stream and play PS5 games directly via WiFi, even if you don’t own a PS5 console.

Availability

Pre-orders for this product will begin sequentially from 10:00 AM on 13^th November at PlayStation retailers nationwide and on e-commerce sites. The product will be released on 10^th December at a suggested retail price of 39,980 yen (including tax).

This product is a model limited to use within Japan and can only be used with a PlayStation account registered as ‘Japan’ in the ‘Country/Region’ section.

Xbox PC App, Web and Cloud Gaming – New Updates Announced

Starting with the Xbox PC app, the company claims that it now launches up to 60% faster, whereas pages like Home, Store, and Game Pass load up to 50% faster. In-app windows are also claimed to open up to 65% faster, and Xbox Insiders will start seeing these improvements as part of the updated experience.

Refreshed game cards, Home and Settings pages, along with updated animations and search, are also part of the changes.

Coming to the web experience, those interested in checking it out can head over to play.xbox.com, where a new Library tab will show games that users can play through the cloud, including the games that they own and those accessible through Xbox Game Pass. Sorting and filtering options like recently played, genre, and supported input methods have also been provided.

Notably, a desktop mode makes better use of the space available on PCs and larger displays, allowing users to see more games while browsing. Additionally, there are dark and light modes, along with five new high-contrast options.

Speaking of which, Xbox is bringing a refreshed look and navigation to its Cloud Gaming apps on supported TVs and VR headsets as well.

Two early previews for Xbox Cloud Gaming

Use your phone as a controller on a Smart TV

In this preview, you can use a supported Android or iOS phone as your controller on a supported Smart TV. The controls open in your phone’s browser, so you don’t need a separate controller. Some games will also have controls tailored to how they play.

To try the preview, turn on Preview Features under Settings > Account in the latest supported Smart TV experience. When you launch a game without a physical controller connected, you will see an option to use your phone for that session.

The preview is rolling out today on supported TVs in countries where Xbox Cloud Gaming is supported.

Try Cloud Connect with the Xbox Nano Controller

Players in the US can preview Cloud Connect with the Xbox Nano Controller starting today. Instead of a Bluetooth connection to your TV, Cloud Connect uses your WiFi to connect directly to the cloud server running your game.

Cloud Connect is still an early test, so it won’t work with every cloud gaming experience yet. For now, you can try it on supported Smart TVs and the web.

How to use Cloud Connect with the Xbox Nano Controller?

• Set up your controller: Use the XBOX beta app on Android, or the Xbox Accessories app on PC, to set up Cloud Connect on your XBOX Nano Controller. XBOX Insider enrollment is required for setup through the PC app.
• Connect to Wi-Fi: Follow the steps in the app to connect your controller to your Wi-Fi network.
• Start playing: Open a supported XBOX Cloud Gaming experience and sign in with the same XBOX account used during setup. Your controller will connect through Cloud Connect.

For phone controllers, you can share feedback right from your phone or through a supported Smart TV app. For Cloud Connect, you can submit feedback through the Xbox Accessories app on PC or the Xbox mobile app by selecting the ‘Feedback’ icon.

The device includes a rechargeable battery and a programmable Action Button that can be customised for features like screenshots, gameplay capture, and other frequently used shortcuts. With Xbox Wireless and Bluetooth support, it connects across a range of compatible devices with ease.

Availability

Players can pre-order the Xbox Nano Controller for $49.99 USD. It will be available beginning in November in Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Czechia, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Guatemala, Hong Kong SAR, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Panama, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Trinidad & Tobago, the UK, and the US, with additional markets to follow.

Apart from this, Xbox has teamed up with Samsung to introduce a special Xbox Nano Controller and 2-months of Game Pass Ultimate offer (for new members) in the US with the purchase of select Samsung TVs this holiday season. With the Xbox app available through the Gaming Hub built into Samsung TVs, players in select regions can use their monthly cloud playtime to play hundreds of Xbox Game Pass titles by simply connecting their controller.
