Yes, your PS5 needs to be on for the PS Portal to work. It's like trying to call someone when their phone is off!

No, your PS5 doesn't need to be on. Hot take: it's a portal to nowhere if the main system is off.

As a long-time gamer, I can confirm that the PS Portal requires your PS5 to be turned on. Otherwise, it鈥檚 like having a car without gas鈥攍ooks cool, but it鈥檚 not going anywhere.
