The PlayStation Portal is one hell of a handheld device, capable of streaming games from your PlayStation 5 and directly from Sony’s servers if you’re a PlayStation Plus member). But you probably already know that if you’ve grabbed one for yourself. Instead, you’re probably here to learn the step-by-step process of setting it all up, eh? Or to troubleshoot any strange issues you might encounter when first powering up the device? Fair enough. Lets’ dive into it.
Since most (though not all) games must be streamed from your PS5, you’ll want to first make sure your console is set up to make the most of your Portal. Here are some things to knock out to get it all running smoothly:
You should also check to see if your PS5 is up-to-date. Navigate to the gear icon on the main screen and go to System > System Software > System Software Update and Settings. With these things out of the way, it’s time to set up your Portal.
Now that your PS5 is ready to go, let’s power up the Portal and walk through the steps to get you started playing.
After all is said and done, you will be told everything is set up and ready to go! You can now connect to your PS5 and start streaming games for plenty of handheld fun!
