The PS Portal, Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory for the PS5 console, resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller featuring an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen in the center. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device by streaming games from your console at up to 60fps. The controller retains all the hallmark features of the DualSense, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface that replaces the traditional touchpad. While the Portal can stream games outside your home, it requires a very stable and fast internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it's strictly a remote player for the PlayStation 5, requiring you to own a PS5 to use it.

Exciting news for PlayStation Portal owners: you no longer need a PS5 to enjoy gaming on the go. Sony has rolled out a feature allowing owners to stream games directly from the PlayStation Now cloud streaming service. With this update, Portal users can connect either to their PS5 or directly to Sony's cloud servers, thanks to the new quality-of-life beta updates launched in April. This opens up a library of over 120 games, including popular titles like Ghost of Tsushima, Resident Evil 3 Remake, The Last of Us Part 1 Remastered, and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. To access this feature, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, priced at $18 per month—a far more appealing option than purchasing a $500 console and additional games at $70 each.

While the PlayStation Portal offers a seamless way to stream your PS5 games over Wi-Fi within your home, it's worth noting that similar functionality can be achieved by using the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device, including other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, this alternative requires more setup and lacks some of the DualSense's unique features.

PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy

"The PlayStation Portal is the most surprising device I've ever come away from loving after going in loaded with skepticism. It's such a better experience than using your phone with a slap-on controller, and it works so much better than I was anticipating. I really love the freedom it gives me to play my PS5 from anywhere with decent WiFi coverage, especially when the rest of my family was using the TV to (somewhat ironically) play the Switch. Bearing in mind that it’s in no way a stand-alone device and 100% requires a PlayStation 5 to function at all, the biggest things keeping the Portal from being a truly amazing device are its current lack of a way to access WiFi that requires a web browser to log in, and its lack of Bluetooth support for audio. For now, it's a great device that represents the best current solution for PlayStation Remote Play, and if it weren't for those two baffling caveats, I'd call this a must-own device for every PS5 owner who enjoys playing games on handheld – or has to compete for the household TV."
