PlayStation Portal™ Remote Player FAQ

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.

PS Portal can connect to a range of public Wi-Fi networks, and those running system software version 3.0.1 or later can also connect to select Wi-Fi networks that require additional validation steps beyond entering the network password. Please note you’ll require your smartphone or tablet to complete these additional validation steps, and that before connecting to public Wi-Fi networks, you’ll need to have completed the initial PS Portal setup on your home Wi-Fi network.
