PlayStation Portal™ Remote Player FAQ

Can PlayStation Portal Remote Player only be played on my home Wi-Fi network?

While your home Wi-Fi network represents a great option to use PlayStation Portal™ Remote Player because you have control over the quality of your own home Wi-Fi, it is not required. PlayStation Portal™ Remote Player can also be played wherever you have access to broadband internet Wi-Fi with at least 5Mbps for use1. For a better play experience, a high-speed connection of at least 15Mbps is recommended. If you are using public Wi-Fi, be aware that the quality of the internet connection may be out of your control, and could impact the quality of your play experience.

Is a PS Plus membership required to use PlayStation Portal Remote Player and PlayStation Remote Play?

No, using PlayStation Portal™ Remote Player and PlayStation® Remote Play does not require a PlayStation Plus membership2. If you are using Remote Play to play a game that requires a PS Plus membership to access multiplayer, then you would need to have an active membership to access that game’s multiplayer features.

Can someone else use the TV where my PS5 is connected to while I am using PS Portal Remote Player?

Yes, they can. For example, someone else in your household could be watching a show or a movie on the TV while you use PlayStation Portal™ Remote Player to play your favorite compatible games on its gorgeous 8” HD screen.
