Sony: PS Portal users spend more time gaming than everyone else
The PS Portal, designed specifically for Remote Play, has emerged as the most popular way to play PlayStation remotely. Sony says roughly 5% of PS5 owners in the United States have already acquired the device.
Sony recently added cloud-streaming support for PS Plus Premium subscribers, enabling play directly from the cloud without a console and providing access to a library of over 2,800 titles.
In an interview, Senior Product Development Manager Takuro Fushimi said:
Our data indicate that PS Portal users are more active than other user groups. The PS Portal has become the most-used device for PS5 Remote Play, surpassing smartphones, PCs and even PS5 and PS4 consoles.
That’s hardly surprising — the device was purpose-built for Remote Play — but the numbers highlight just how successful it has become.
However, the outlook was very different before launch. In 2023, about 60% of nearly 6,000 respondents said they did not plan to buy the PS Portal, and 33% expressed no interest at all. Now that has shifted: 51% of participants in the latest survey report owning the device, and 32% use it at least once a week.
