The PlayStation Portal offers a fantastic handheld gaming experience, but to unlock its full potential, you’ll need to connect it to your PlayStation 5 for remote play. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the necessary settings and connection process, enabling you to stream your favorite PS5 games to your Portal.
A PlayStation Portal boots up.
Enabling Remote Play on Your PS5
The first step is to enable Remote Play on your PS5 console. This feature allows your PlayStation Portal to access and stream games from your PS5.
Configuring PS5 Power Saving Settings
To ensure seamless remote play, even when your PS5 is in Rest Mode, you’ll need to adjust the Power Saving settings.
Connecting Your PlayStation Portal
With the PS5 configured, it’s time to connect your PlayStation Portal. Ensure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network and logged into the same PlayStation Network account. During the Portal’s setup process, you’ll be prompted to select a PS5 console to connect to. If you own multiple PS5 consoles, choose the one you wish to stream from.
Initiating the Connection
Once you’ve selected your PS5, ensure the console is turned on. Your PlayStation Portal will detect the console and initiate the connection process.
Future Connections
After the initial setup, every time you power on your PlayStation Portal, you’ll be prompted to confirm the connection to your chosen PS5. This streamlined process allows for quick and easy access to remote play, so you can jump into your games without delay.
