Sony She confirmed her portable gaming device PlayStation Portal It will continue to expand its features gradually. It brings one of the biggest updates released last month Cloud flow to the device.

Sony will take “incremental steps” to expand the capabilities of PS Portal

In a recent interview with GameFile, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Vice President of Product Management, Hiromi Wakai, said that the reason behind gradually expanding the PS Portal’s feature set is to ensure that players get the best experience.

“PS Portal was a new type of product for us, so we wanted to be extra careful to ensure our users had the best user experience possible,” Wakai said. “We want to continue this approach with PS Portal, taking incremental steps based on the community’s reception of the beta.”

The technical performance of a streaming device seems doubly important given the device’s player base. According to Wakai, owners of a portable streaming device tend to play games more than those who do not own the device.

“Gamers who own a PS Portal tend to spend more time playing games than those who don’t,” Wakai said. “Of course, it’s possible that users who purchased PS Portal were naturally more engaged in the first place, however, our data shows that PS Portal owners tend to spend more time playing games than non-owners.”

In the same interview, Sony Data says that Device usage peaks around 9 p.man hour after the PS5’s rush hour. They believe that gamers continue their gaming session from TV to device instead of just turning off the console and connecting to it daily.

PS Portal was launched just over a year ago. Although there were doubts, the device performed well. According to PlayStation President Hideaki Nishino, sales of the device have been a “huge success” for the gaming giant. When he spoke to the BBCNishino also said: “We are always exploring various options for how players can play games.”
