How to Play PC Games on Mac (Without Installing Windows)
PlayStation Portal Remote Player Will Cost $199
PlayStation Portal
PlayStation has confirmed an official launch price for the new PlayStation Portal remote player handheld, which was announced as being in development back in April. Users can expect a launch price of $199.99 (USD) for the new PlayStation Portal remote player when it's released later this year.
The PlayStation Portal is a portable device featuring an 8-inch LCD screen with 1080p resolution and a refresh rate of 60 fps. It has haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, similar to the DualSense wireless controller, and is intended to work in tandem with the PS5 console over Wi-Fi.
The idea behind this handheld is to serve as an extension of the console. Any compatible games on the PS5 can be played on the PlayStation Portal remote player. Games that use the DualSense controller should be compatible but games that require additional hardware might not work. Users can also connect external audio peripherals using its 3.5mm audio jack.
Anything related to PS VR2 will not be compatible, as users must use the headset and VR controllers to interface. It's also worth noting that games must be installed locally on the PS5. Anything hosted through PlayStation Plus Premium's cloud streaming cannot be played on the PlayStation Portal remote player.
Because the PlayStation Portal remote player works in tandem with the PS5, it's not in direct competition with other handhelds such as the Steam Deck or Asus ROG Ally. This also lends to its lower price threshold of $199. Though it's possible this price might change in the future, it's nice to have an official say so from Sony on the matter to set expectations.
You can read more about the PlayStation Portal remote player as well as new products, including the Pulse Elite wireless headset and Pulse Explore wireless earbuds, in the official announcement shared to the PlayStation blog.
The Square Enix Digital Content Viewer Is An App Coming To The PlayStation Store That's A One-Stop-Shop On All Additional Content For SE Games
A new kind of application is set to hit the PlayStation Store soon. An app published by Square Enix, entirely dedicated to showing players additional content for Square Enix titles.
The Square Enix Digital Content Viewer is currently available to wishlist, of all things, on the store, and it has a release window for 2023 listed.
In the description Square Enix says the app "is a dedicated application for viewing or listening to digital content such as art books, soundtracks, or videos that may be included with some Square Enix titles."
What's interesting about this app is that there isn't really anything else like it on the PlayStation Store.
Square Enix is breaking new ground in that this will be the first app where if you, let's say bought the digital deluxe version of FFXVI, and instead of needing to download the soundtrack or artbook that came along, you just open this Digital Content Viewer app and check out your extras that way.
It could be that this just means Square Enix is the first to have gone ahead with this kind of app, but if it proves useful to players it could be the case that we begin to see other publishers do the same.
What would've really made the most sense though is if PlayStation had gone ahead and done a version of this for all games coming out of PlayStation Studios.
For example the digital deluxe version of Gran Turismo 7 comes with the official soundtrack. You get the soundtrack and a mini artbook when you buy the digital deluxe edition of The Last Of Us Part II.
Those are just two quick examples, but it's easy to see how an app like this could be useful for players, to access all this content and more in one enclosed place.
It'll be interesting to see how well executed Square Enix's app is though, and if anyone uses it at all.
