Sony senior manager of product management Takuro Fushimi in an interview with TechRadar the PlayStation Portal is now the most used device for PlayStation 5 Remote Play.
"Our data shows that PlayStation Portal users are more engaged than non-users," said Fushimi. "[The] PlayStation portal has now become the most widely used device for PlayStation 5 Remote Play, surpassing mobile PC, PS5, and PS4."
He added the PlayStation Portal "continues to be a complementary device to the console and not a standalone yet" and "the average gameplay session on PlayStation Portal is around two hours."
An update for the PlayStation Portal released this month added Cloud Streaming for PS5 Games for PlayStation Plus Premium members without the need to connect to a PlayStation 5 console through Remote Play.
PlayStation Plus Premium members can also now stream select digital PS5 games they own on the PlayStation Portal.

I wonder how fierce the competition was in the realm of PS5 remote play...
You can use remote play on any phone, tablet or PC
You can even Remote Play on PS5 on another PS5 or PS4.
But why would I?
Why would you do anything? Because you wanted to.
lol yeah I was like ummm the only device made to remote play with PS5 is the most used to remote play...why is this an article? haha
You would hope so since the device was pretty much worthless without it. If you were purchasing a PS Portable, isn't that the whole purpose for its use before they allowed cloud streaming. Even still, with PS5 cloud streaming, you still need a PS5.
