become the most popular platform for the feature. But it does speak to the overall success of the accessory, which is now owned by approximately 5% of all PS5 owners in USA.<\/p>\n<p>Sony recently upgraded the capabilities of the wildly popular handheld, allowing <strong>PS Plus Premium<\/strong> members to stream games directly to it via the cloud.<\/p>\n<p>This removes the need for a PS5 at all, meaning you can play over 2,800 games on the device.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking with <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/gaming\/playstation\/playstation-portal-product-lead-says-the-handheld-is-now-the-most-widely-used-device-for-the-ps5-remote-play-surpassing-pc-ps4-ps5-and-mobile\">Tech Radar<\/a>, Senior Manager of Product Development Takuro Fushimi revealed some interesting tidbits about the unit:<\/p>\n<div class=\"for-mobile\">\n<figure class=\"youtube with-primis\" data-videoid=\"y-XGB8_bQ3s\" data-start=\"0\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y-XGB8_bQ3s?rel=0&amp;hd=1&amp;showinfo=0&amp;modestbranding=0&amp;autohide=1\">\n<div class=\"video-stage\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Top 10 Best PS5 Games Of 2024 (So Far) | PlayStation 5\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y-XGB8_bQ3s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"youtube-sub\">Subscribe to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/pushsquare?sub_confirmation=1\">Push Square<\/a> on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sub-button external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/pushsquare?sub_confirmation=1\"><span class=\"subs-label\">YouTube<\/span><span class=\"subs\">165k<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cOur data shows that PS Portal users are more engaged than non-users. [The] PS Portal has now become the most widely used device for PS5 Remote Play, surpassing mobile PC, PS5, and PS4.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>None of this is hugely surprising given the bespoke nature of the PS Portal \u2013 if you bought it, you probably did so for Remote Play \u2013 but as we alluded to above, it demonstrates how penetrative the peripheral has proven overall.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s really fascinating is to look back at our polls prior to the accessory\u2019s release.<\/p>\n<p>Back in 2023, 60% of the almost 6,000 people we quizzed said they had no plans to purchase the device at all, with 33% of that total saying they had \u201czero interest\u201d in it.<\/p>\n<p>But last week in a fresh poll those numbers had flipped: about 51% of our users said they now owned the handheld, with 32% admitting they turn it on at least once per week.<\/p>\n<p><!-- cache: html:pushsquare.com\/ssl\/ps5\/related-articles:193459,193467 @ 1762767776

At launch, I had issues with micro stutters during remote play etc. which got gradually better over time but it wasn&#8217;t good enough for me to regularly use it. The newest update has completely changed that. Streaming has worked flawlessly for me thus far. No hiccups, no degrading picture quality. I&#8217;ve been using it more over the last couple of days than I have in a very long time. The new UI features are great as well where you can check your current connection status and latency. During remote play, I only have 1-3 ms latency, streaming bumps that up to around 6 or 7 but picture quality and resolution are much more consistent for me there.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">6<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment8899380\" data-author=\"users\/126790\" data-subject=\"comments\/8899380\" data-dislikes=\"1\" data-id=\"8899380\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/static.pushsquare.com\/themes\/base\/images\/avatar.svg\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Alexface\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"news\/2025\/11\/ps-portal-users-are-more-engaged-than-non-users-sonys-hit-handheld-outperforms-all-other-remote-play-methods#comment8899380\">2<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Alexface<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2025-11-10T06:43:14+00:00\">6:43am<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>I would remote\/cloud play with my mobile if I could, but my controller doesn&#8217;t work.<br \/>So it&#8217;s kind of not right saying a platform not used as much when you give a subpar experience &#8230;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment8899382\" data-author=\"users\/327354\" data-subject=\"comments\/8899382\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"8899382\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/users\/327354\/avatar.jpg?v=1682415807\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Mattlong78\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"news\/2025\/11\/ps-portal-users-are-more-engaged-than-non-users-sonys-hit-handheld-outperforms-all-other-remote-play-methods#comment8899382\">3<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Mattlong78<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2025-11-10T06:52:32+00:00\">6:52am<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>I purchased mine on a but if a whim back in summer and maybe I missed out on a lot of teething issues from launch but as of now I play on this thing so much in fact most third party games I used to get on switch I pick up on PS5 as the experience on my portal is pretty flawless.
