The beta version supports up to 1080p at 60fps, offering a seamless gaming experience complete with DualSense features like haptic feedback. Users can activate the feature from the quick menu settings. While this marks a significant step forward, the beta does have limitations, such as the unavailability of certain functions including game trials and PS4/PS3 titles. The PlayStation Portal continues to enhance its functionality, building on its Remote Play capabilities and overall user experience, praised in prior reviews.
