Today, Sony officially announced and named the PlayStation Portal remote player and it will launch by the end of the year. The retail price for the remote play device is slated at $199.99 and pre-orders will begin soon. The PlayStation Portal offers an 8-inch LCD screen that will run at 1080p resolution at 60 FPS.

Players can expect the key features of the DualSense wireless controllers with adaptive triggers and haptic feedback. It will also include a 3.5mm audio jack for wired audio.

This device is designed to mirror what the PlayStation 5 displays and over the same local network. The same goes for PlayStation VR2 titles or anything that requires a special controller. These will not work on the PlayStation Portal. Sony states this is geared towards households where they might need to share a television in the living room, or just simply play PS5 games somewhere else in the house. This is not considered to be a separate console.

Sony has also announced two new Pulse audio peripherals that both feature lossless, low latency audio using new PlayStation Link technology. PlayStation Link will allow both of these new devices to connect directly to the PlayStation Portal and via USB on the PlayStation 5. The technology will enable the ability to switch seamlessly between multiple devices. This USB adapter will come with either headsets, but can also be purchased as a standalone item and can be used on PC and Mac. With the PlayStation
