This PS Portal looks and functions as if it were new, with only moderate packing damage noted during inspection.
The PlayStation Portal is designed to transform your PS5 into a portable gaming device. It resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen integrated in the middle. It allows you to stream games from your PS5 at up to 60fps, replicating the DualSense's features like haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface. While it's perfect for gaming away from home, it requires a very stable and fast internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it's a remote player that necessitates a PS5 to operate.
Update: You no longer need a PS5 to play games on the PS Portal. Sony has introduced a feature enabling direct streaming from their PlayStation Now cloud service. This means Portal owners can choose to connect either to their PS5 or directly to Sony's cloud servers, accessing over 120 games including Ghost of Tsushima, Resident Evil 3 Remake, The Last of Us Part 1 Remastered, and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. However, this service requires a subscription to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, priced at $18 monthly, a more budget-friendly option compared to buying a PS5 and individual games.
It's worth noting that the PlayStation Portal isn't the only method for streaming PS5 games over Wi-Fi at home. You can achieve similar results using the PS Remote Play app on various mobile devices, including other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setting this up is more complex, and you'll miss out on 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."
