AYN reveals Odin 3 Portal with Snapdragon 8 Elite-tier chip and big battery    

One advantage of the PlayStation Portal is its ability to cloud stream an expanded selection of PS5 games. With a PS Plus Premium subscription, players don’t need a console to use the feature. The Asobi: Remote Play app mimics the Sony handheld, bringing the capability to the Steam Deck and Windows devices.

The PS Portal direct cloud streaming library received an update this morning, adding a highly anticipated game at launch. Games aren’t guaranteed to launch into the handheld’s streaming library, often leaving users waiting days or weeks to stream them without a PS5. That won’t be the case with today’s brand-new drop: Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival.

While the PlayStation Portal receiveda firmware update last month, that’s not stopping Sony from releasing another tangible system update for the accessory.

Sony Interactive Entertainment has quietly rolled out PS Portalsystem software update 7.3.0 for October 2026 — the handheld’s second firmware update within a month. This update follows reports that the company is gearing up to launch an OLED model.

Following a series of rumors, PS Portal users have received a semi-official hardware update that they’ve been crossing their fingers for. A pair of unannounced Sony Interactive Entertainment devices have recently passed certification, and from the looks of it, we’re getting the PS Portal OLED model that was first leaked by a known insider.

PlayStation die-hards could soon have a way of playing their favorite console games on the go, if newly leaked information is to be believed. Official Wi-Fi Alliance documents—that’s the nonprofit organization that certifies devices as Wi-Fi capable—point to new PlayStation hardware coming soon.

Sony certified two devices in the CFI-Y2000 series, potentially signaling new PlayStation Portal hardware. The listings don’t confirm an OLED screen, and the CFI-Y2000 supports Wi-Fi 5, like the current Portal. Sony has not announced a new model.

For those who play their PS5 games on the PlayStation Portal, the device has a new system update available for download today, and it’s more than a stability patch.

Sony Interactive Entertainment has rolled out PS Portalsystem software update 7.1.7, which brings significant changes. The highlight of today’s firmware update is battery performance improvements and overall health.
