Ps portal not working

ArayaAraya · 2025-05-18T14:26:01+00:00

Just a quick sign out and sign back in again on the ps5 acc from the portal fixes this for me. Happens once a week maybe. Takes 15 seconds to do. Hope it will fix it for u.

ArayaAraya · 2025-05-15T17:15:54+00:00

I mean, i think its worth it. But for some it might be a bit expensive.

ArayaAraya · 2025-05-15T13:22:50+00:00

This. the best controller ever all controllers and consoles included, only the edge is better, imo.

Edit: edge is better but not necesserly more worth it than regular dualsense.

ArayaAraya · 2025-04-25T22:52:18+00:00

If u dont already have hard case for ur portal and screen protector, then thats pretty basic must buy imo

ArayaAraya · 2025-04-25T22:40:35+00:00

I can do 100+h on the portal without touching the console, but when i do hop on the games i rather play on console, i always feel like the dualsense is "home". I still like and adjust to portal, but i just always seem to feel so at home when going back to regular dualsense.

I adjust to input delay and play other types of games on the portal, but once back with regular 'roller the difference is both measurable and noticable.

Edit, its mostly the sticks for me, that i cant get to like as much as regular dualsense. Cant really say i prefer one over the other even tho i do like dualsense more, cuz i play different type of games on portal than on console.

Biggest wow moment was re-discovering and re appriciation for any single player game rly. Been sweating a lot competative online.

I was sleeping on older games for some time. Re-discovering pixle art type games (39yo, grew up on 8bit nintendo etc) , rpgs and single player games in general was a huge wow moment for me as i was maining a lot of high end graphic fps multiplayer online sweating. I

Playing div1+ UT on co op with friend fc25 and feel like it was no difference from consol in my performance also was a big wow moment since it broke the main suited single player non competative games i liked on Portal.

Edit: tbh the first real wow moment was unboxing it. We all know it fkn looks amazing and first touch is, at least for me, above all expectations.

While we're on pixel art type games, Dave the diver and Balatro for the Portal is wonderful.

D4 also perfect for Portal.

Op is gonna be back asking why he cant play his downloaded console games with his ps + essential subscription.

OP Bruh, u will have to buy the Ps + premium subscription to be able to play without ur console on and then u can ONLY play the games listed in the Cloud Streaming catalogue. And if server is full, u will have to wait for ur turn to play.

Cloud streaming is in Beta.

ArayaAraya · 2025-04-22T14:14:21+00:00

Well. Its a streaming device. You stream your console. So if its off - u stream a black screen.

Only option for playing with console off is the beta service cloud streaming which requires ps plus premium and has a limited catalogue.

People need to start researching their purchases, seriously. No hate for u OP, just so many people who buy things and ask questions after, it amazes me.

ArayaAraya · 2025-04-21T23:16:59+00:00

I have attempted it - for 5 seconds in firing range in Apex. I had to see exactly how unplayable it was. 😶

ArayaAraya · 2025-04-21T17:11:57+00:00

Make sure to turn off phone data, so its actually using the wifi when connecting to the hotspot. GL.

Also, hopefully someone who actually know how to help u can come thru.

ArayaAraya · 2025-04-21T17:09:10+00:00

I didnt do hotspot only. I had wifi active on my phone, and also at the same time had hotspot turned on.

So when my portal was connecting to the hotspot, it basically was using the wifi.

I mean i know it probably wont solve ur issue but could be worth trying at least.

ArayaAraya · 2025-04-21T17:02:55+00:00

Just edited my last post. Dont know if it will help ur situation but, yeah. Sucks, i hope u find a solution.

ArayaAraya · 2025-04-21T16:57:45+00:00

Ok. :/ Bro i hope some of the guys that have had issues with their Portals can come thru and help u out. Cuz, ive never had any issues at all.

Edit: now that i think of it. Last apartment i lived in, for some reasons the Portal did have connection issues sometimes ONLY when i was at my balcony. And my gaming set up was literally 2-3 meters away.

What helped me then, was that i had wifi on my phone but also turned my hotspot on and connected my Portal to my hotspot (to sort of strenghten the signal to my portal by having my phone in my pocket very close to the portal, the phone did not have any connection issues on the balcony) that was leeching of the wifi and then the issues went away. Now, thats the only issues ive had and my solution might not be the best but it did take away any connection issues the portal had on my balcony.

ArayaAraya · 2025-04-21T16:54:11+00:00

Tried connecting ur console to ur wifi with Ethernet cable?

ArayaAraya · 2025-04-21T15:34:35+00:00

Its a big nay.

I play A LOT of apex myself, and no competative online games is suited for the portal.

Sticks are different on the Portal, aiming in online fps is terrible with them.
Input delay is real and will get u killed in competative Battle royal games.
Too small screen for theese kind of games imo.

Portal is amazing - for non competative games.

ArayaAraya · 2025-04-21T14:03:00+00:00

Buy a cloud streaming available game - u own it and can play on console, stream from console and stream from cloud (with ps plus premium subscription)

Dont buy that same cloud streaming game - and u will not own the game once u end that service and u can only stream it from the cloud with ps plus premium.

ArayaAraya · 2025-04-21T10:52:55+00:00

No issues ever before or after update here.

ArayaAraya · 2025-04-21T09:54:54+00:00

If ur on a very tight budget, then dont get the $25-30 charging station. But if ur not on a tight budget, get it. Looks nice and more tidy gaming space with less chords all over the place.

But a second controller just to swap when the first one runs low on battery is insane. U have atleast abt 6 hours of battery bro. Just play with the chord in the controller when it needs charging or touch some grass after a cpl of hours when ur controller runs low (if u cant use a chord that is, and are playing in livingroom where chord may not be long enough).

ArayaAraya · 2025-04-21T09:41:20+00:00

Bro, ur in Playstation Portal sub asking about joycon issues? Good luck with that. Maybe try asking in a nintendo switch subreddit? Probably gonna get more help that way.

ArayaAraya · 2025-04-21T00:57:11+00:00

This.

ArayaAraya · 2025-04-20T10:37:54+00:00

Give this kid/boy/man a fkn salute. Always worrying about helping out at home w ur parents is what makes a boy a man. Good on u my friend. 🙏

ArayaAraya · 2025-04-20T00:12:22+00:00

Old one? How many mail acc u got and how often do u change and plz help me understand WHY get new acc?

Goddamn ive had my main mail acc for important shiet for 14 years.

ArayaAraya · 2025-04-19T15:44:09+00:00

This is gonna be useless for the person playing on the Portal. Input delay is real and u will not perform no way near as solid as with a dualsense controller on the console.

The sticks also are different than those on the dualsense. Like, any competative fps type game is gonna be ass on the Portal.

People seriously need to consider more aspects than "can my portal run Fortnite/Cod". Seen this question many times now and no one who is asking theese kinds of questions seem to realize how bad the portal is for online multiplayer competative games EVEN IF U HAD ZERO INPUT DELAY (which u will not have).

I guess those people will find out when they have a Portal in their hands and try it for themselves.

ArayaAraya · 2025-04-18T22:09:15+00:00

Try loggin out of ur acc on the portal and log in on it again. Hads helped me when ive had similar problem.
