Re: Guide: PS Portal FAQ - All Your Questions Answered

Not sure if it’s common knowledge but remote play doesn’t need an internet connection necessarily, it does need a WiFi router though. In other words, if you connect your PS5 and Remote Play device to the same Router (via WiFi or even wired), even without internet connection, it will work.
I wonder if it works the same way for the Portal though.

Any idea if this is also the case with the Portal?

Re: Suicide Squad Requires an Internet Connection Even in Single Player

@Korgon I think the key component here is timing. The idea for the Suicide Squad game was likely conceived around 2016, when Rocksteady was wrapping up the season pass content for Arkham Knight, and back then this type of GaaS/Co-Op Super-Hero game seemed like a great idea for the suits at the gaming development studios. Failures like Marvel Avengers probably changed their minds, but not soon enough to completely rework the games coming down the pipeline (Suicide Squad & Gotham Knights) and I suspect a lot of rework was indeed put into those and that’s why they took so long to come out. With Hogwarts Legacy, the first rumors come from 2018, and it probably had more hindsight than the others.
