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.

Pre-orders for this product will begin sequentially from 10:00 AM on 13th November at PlayStation retailers nationwide and on e-commerce sites. The product will be released on 10th 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.
