As digital entertainment is increasingly integrated into people’s daily lives, Sony’s PlayStation series has been committed to providing players with an excellent gaming experience. On June 19, Sony officially announced on the PlayStation blog that its handheld remote play device PlayStation Portal has ushered in an important system update. This update not only adds a number of long-awaited features for users, but also significantly improves the portability and user experience of the device, marking an important step for PlayStation Portal in providing a seamless and convenient gaming experience. One of the most eye-catching updates is that PlayStation Portal now supports connecting to public Wi-Fi networks that require login. In the past, players who wanted to use Portal for remote gaming in hotels, cafes or other public places with free Wi-Fi may encounter network connection obstacles. After this update, Portal can generate an on-screen QR code. Players only need to scan the QR code with their mobile phones to easily log in to the public network, greatly improving the portability of the device and the diversity of usage scenarios.
The addition of this feature is obviously in response to users’ needs to take Portal away from their home network. Nowadays, with the accelerated pace of people’s lives, more and more players want to enjoy the fun of games while traveling. Whether in the departure lounge waiting for the plane to take off or enjoying the afternoon in a cafe, players can connect to the PlayStation 5 console at any time through Portal and continue their gaming adventure. At the same time, the updated Portal also allows players to directly view the battery percentage in the status bar in the upper right corner. Before this, the power level was only displayed as a vague power icon, and players often had difficulty accurately judging the remaining power of the device. Now, whether in the game process or checking the status of the device before going out, players can clearly grasp the power status of Portal at a glance, so as to better plan their usage time.
It is worth mentioning that while announcing these updates, the PlayStation blog also implicitly mentioned the “unexpected success” of Portal. Although Sony did not disclose specific sales data, it is not difficult to read between the lines that this handheld remote play device has won considerable attention in the market. This may be inseparable from the new gaming experience that Portal brings to players. By bringing console games to more scenarios, Portal not only expands the possibilities of games, but also allows more players to find moments of relaxation and entertainment in their busy lives.
In addition, the blog post also mentioned that players who own Portal are often exposed to the remote play function for the first time. In the first few months of owning Portal, their overall PS5 game time also increased. This data not only proves the effectiveness of Portal in attracting new users, but also shows its potential in increasing user stickiness and game time.
