The name change, combined with extra internal storage, seems to suggest that this particular model might get access to streaming apps.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The existing PlayStation Portal doesn\u2019t support streaming apps like YouTube, Disney Plus, or Netflix, and is primarily designed to stream PS5 games from a console or the cloud. The PlayStation Portal isn\u2019t powerful enough to play PlayStation games locally, but extra storage could also let you sync media for offline playback.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">This Japan-only PlayStation Portal is launching on December 10th, priced at 39,980 yen (around $253).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sony is launching a new version of its PlayStation Portal exclusively in Japan next month.
