From a tech perspective, the PlayStation 5 is currently the industry standard in console gameplay. It's time for Sony to revisit the prospects of remote play on the PS5, with the unveiling of the newly christened PlayStation Portal (formerly codenamed Project Q) and its Pulse Explore ear buds and PlayStation Link technology.

The Remote device sports an 8 inch 1080p LCD screen with 60fps resolution. The handheld will have the same haptic feedback of the DualSense controllers. By connecting via WiFi, players will be able to access their PS5 consoles and play games that are supported by the hardware. For wired headphones, a 3.5mm audio jack is available.

PS VR2 and its games are not supported.

The Pulse Elite headset and ear buds are manufactured with lossless audio tech and the headset possesses a retractable mic. AI-enhanced noise rejection is capable of filtering out background sounds for easier listening. Both the Pulse Elite and Pulse Explore are designed with planar magnetic drivers, making them very state-of-the-art audio listening devices and make use of the PlayStation Link, a USB adapter that will be sold separately. PlayStation Link supports PS5, Mac, PC, and the PlayStation Portal, along with Bluetooth supported devices. Answered calls can be received via the Pulse Explore earbuds.

No release date has been given as of this writing. Does the PlayStation Portal look like something you plan on adding to your PS5 experience?
