Did anyone else get their Playstation Portal? I’m having issues with couch seating and my natural grip position. The grip is fine, but the screen angle points upward too much, resulting in glare from whatever is behind and above me (a window, no less). I can change my grip to angle the screen downward towards me, but it’s really uncomfortable. Things are better if I sit straight up and hold the Portal lower.

But I’m a a creature of comfort and I’m going to be sitting chill on the couch using this thing. I honestly don’t understand how this is even a problem; I never even thought about this ever with my Switch or Steam Deck. Did Playstation not, like, survey a bunch of 30-50 year olds who are probably gonna kick back on a couch to use this thing?


Update: I changed my grip a bit and it helped! Also, holding it upright closer to my face feels okay, too. Lost track of time and my hand wasn’t in any discomfort after a few hours, trying various games in different genres.

    Nope, fine for me, but I don’t have any lights behind where I sit with it usually, super comfortable. I think this might be a problem hyper localised to your very specific situation :)

      Yea, it’ll probably be fine in the long run or at night when I’m likely to use it. Gotta finish Baldur’s Gate 3.
