    I forgot Sony made that. Why not get a Steam Deck, or one of the alternatives? The portal doesn’t have any storage, and if you have stick drift you have to buy another.

      I would assume it’s because they would like to play PlayStation games, not PC games.

        But isn’t just cloud gaming? Which needs a solid connection… Unlike every other handheld system, that has the games on storage, or cartridge? I don’t understand cloud gaming.

          If you’re living in a home with modern wi-fi and fiber Internet, the latency isn’t much worse than a typical 4K TV outside of its built-in game mode. For many, many titles on console, this type of input lag is acceptable.

          Admittedly I know the product isn’t very popular, but for those who enjoy PS games, it’s a pretty neat device.

          Personally I just keep stuff on my PS5 and if I can’t be in my living room I guess I’ll wait to play :-)

          It helps that I also own a Steam Deck

            Ok, that makes sense. I just own only a PC which has everything I need, no tv. The only thing I would love to have is a steam deck.
