Sony is rolling out a new update for the portable gaming device PlayStation Portal, allowing gamers to connect to public Wi-Fi networks that require a login through a web page. This update aims to provide convenience to gamers who wish to play games outside of their usual locations, such as cafes, hotels, or airports.
When the PS Portal encounters a Wi-Fi network that requires additional login credentials, a QR code will be displayed on the screen for users to scan with their smartphones or tablets. Users can then proceed to log in through a web browser on those devices.
One notable enhancement in this firmware update is the introduction of visual feedback for touch pad areas on the screen, making it clearer to see where one has pressed. Additionally, the update will now display the remaining battery percentage on the device.
TLDR:
Sony’s PlayStation Portal update allows gamers to connect to public Wi-Fi networks with a login page, featuring new visual touch pad feedback and battery percentage display.
