PlayStation Portal remote player officially announced
Coming later this year
Project Q now has an official name. PlayStation’s very own handheld, first teased a few months back, is now official and will be called PlayStation Portal.
PlayStation Portal
The PlayStation Portal is a dedicated Remote Play device. It’s exactly what it was rumored to be. It has all the key features of the DualSense controller. As seen on the image, the DualSense like controllers sandwiches an 8-inch LCD screen. PlayStation says it can run games at 1080p on 60fps.
As for its intended use, PlayStation sees it as “the perfect device for gamers in households where they might need to share their living room TV or simply want to play PS5 games in another room of the house.”
PlayStation Portal will connect remotely to your PS5 over Wi-Fi. It can play any game supported by and are installed on your PS5 console. PS VR2 games, which require the headset, and games that are streamed through PlayStation Plus Premium’s cloud streaming, are not supported.
It also has a 3.5mm audio jack for wired audio. But if you want to go wireless, you might want to grab these other gadgets announced by Sony PlayStation.
Pulse Elite wireless headset, Pulse Explore wireless earbuds
Announced alongside the PlayStation Portal are the Pulse Elite wireless headset and the Pulse Explore wireless earbuds.
Pulse Elite is a new wireless headset that offers lossless audio. It comes with a retractable boom mic and AI-enhanced noise rejection capable of filtering background sounds. A charging hanger is also included with the product for a convenient charging and storage option.
Pulse Explore is their first set of wireless earbuds. It provides a premium portable audio experience with dual microphones and AI-enhanced noise rejection capable of filtering background sounds. It also offers lossless audio and comes with a charging case.
Both devices will use PlayStation Link, PlayStation’s new wireless audio tech. It’s what allows for lossless audio and easy switching between multiple PlayStation Link hosts.
When using Pulse Elite and Pulse Explore with PS5, the USB adapter that’s included with each headset and earbuds is required for PlayStation Link. The PlayStation Link USB adapter will also be sold separately as a standalone item, and can be used on PC and Mac, so players can connect Pulse Elite or Pulse Explore to experience the same lossless and low latency audio.
Yes, these devices can be used with more than just the PlayStation 5. Supported devices are PC, Mac, and PlayStation Portal. They can also be used with mobile phones via Bluetooth connectivity.

AMD FSR Upscaling 4.1 now available for Radeon RX 7000 Series
Update drops earlier than expected, powering more than 300 supported games
PC and handheld gamers can officially skip the wait, as AMD has launched its FSR 4.1 upscaling technology for Radeon RX 7000 series (RDNA 3) GPUs.
Computing and Graphics Group Senior Vice President and GM Jack Huynh made the announcement on X (formerly Twitter). This development brings machine learning powered gaming to millions of players across more than 300 games.
By downloading the latest AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver, users can unlock the new AI upscaling suite on existing RX 7000 series desktop graphics cards.
(The driver can be downloaded here.)
The update drastically sharpens image reconstruction, delivers far superior temporal stability, and keeps motion ghosting to an absolute minimum. That’s across a massive library of supported titles.
Beyond optimized frame rates out of the gate for those two blockbusters, the release packs vital architecture stability improvements and bug fixes for the broader Radeon ecosystem.
Huynh added that AMD is actively engineering lightweight machine learning models to expand FSR 4.1 optimizations to a wider base of gamers. More details are to come.
Moreover, the driver for the FSR 4.1 upscaling technology will deliver day-one support for two highly anticipated releases: Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations.
if you are wielding an RDNA 3 desktop rig or an RDNA 3-powered handheld, like the ROG Ally X or Lenovo Legion GO, simply open up the AMD Software suite, get the update, and test the new AI tech.
