Sony's Remote Play handheld for the PS5 gets some nice quality-of-life tweaks

The PlayStation Portal is Sony’s surprisingly great Remote Play handheld for the PlayStation 5, and it’s about to get even better thanks to some new features arriving by way of the latest firmware update. Outlined over on the PlayStation Blog today, the changes will begin rolling out on June 19 and includes three significant features. The first is support for sign-in screens on public Wi-Fi networks.

At launch, the PS Portal only displayed a bar to show how much juice the device has left. Now you can turn on a percentage number to find out exactly how much longer you have until your bedtime Balatro run is about to cut off. The PS Portal seemed like an oddly designed, overpriced boondoggle when it was first revealed, but for those who can afford the $200 price tag for a handheld that only streams games from your existing console, it’s a really nice accessory to have around.
