Who Is the PlayStation Portal For?


Listen Later

We got more details on the PlayStation Portal this week, revealing that it is indeed a remote-play device that only supports streaming from a PlayStation 5 console. It is incapable of streaming games from the PlayStation Network's own streaming service via PlayStation Plus Premium. This begs the question, who is this device for? At the $199.99USD price point, we aren't optimistic that this device will sell well.


In an attempt to get the UK's approval in the Activition-Blizzard deal, Microsoft has agreed to transfer cloud gaming rights on current and new Activision-Blizzard games over to Ubisoft. In the agreement, even Microsoft's game streaming platform (Game Pass Ultimate) would need to have the games licensed back to them through Ubisoft. Due to this change, a regulatory investigation has been opened by UK regulators.


Charles Martinet has stepped away from being the voice of Mario, and will be stepping into the new role of Mario ambassador where he will still be active at events and interacting with the community.
