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?

    Forgetting the key feature, it must be on the same Wi-Fi network as your ps5 in order to stream your games

    Edit: I see that I’m mistaken, this was info from when it was first announced, must have been changed since then

      In the video it’s stated it can be on any wifi network. Since he was sitting at PlayStation HQ, getting official info directly from Sony, I’m gonna go with what he said.
