Sony released the Playstation Portal late last year<\/a> as a way to remotely play titles from your PlayStation 5<\/a>. The device \u2014 which we frankly called “a baffling handheld for no one but Sony diehards” \u2014 relies entirely on a solid Wi-Fi connection. Well, as we all know, even in the year 2024, that can be challenging to find and annoying to connect to. Sony is attempting to streamline this process with a software update that should allow you to connect to Wi-Fi<\/a> from a phone or tablet.<\/p>\n

Starting June 19, you should see a QR code come up on the PlayStation Portal<\/a> after attempting to connect to a public Wi-Fi network, such as when it requires more than a password (like a sign-in screen). You can scan that on your device and use it to connect more easily. However, Sony is careful to state that it will work for “a range” of public Wi-Fi networks and that the device requires at least 5Mbps to work, but ideally at least 15Mbps.<\/p>\n

This feature comes alongside an update to the PlayStation Portal’s touchpad which provides new visual feedback. Plus, you can now display the device’s battery percentage at the top right corner of your screen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
