Sony's PS Portal, a handheld gaming accessory for PS5, resembles an extended DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen. It streams PS5 games at up to 60fps, mirroring DualSense features like haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. A touchscreen replaces the DualSense touchpad. While previously requiring a stable, high-speed internet connection for remote play, a noteworthy update now allows streaming directly from PlayStation Now, eliminating the need for a PS5. Access to over 120 games, including titles like *Ghost of Tsushima* and *Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales*, is available via the highest tier of PlayStation Plus ($18/month).
It's important to note that the PS Portal isn't the only option for streaming PS5 games. The PS Remote Play app on mobile devices or handhelds like the Steam Deck offers similar functionality, though setup is more complex, and some DualSense features may be lost.
PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy: "The PlayStation Portal surprised me; it's far superior to using a phone with an attachable controller and works better than expected. I appreciate the freedom to play my PS5 anywhere with decent Wi-Fi. However, the lack of browser-based Wi-Fi login and Bluetooth audio support are significant drawbacks. Despite these, it's currently the best solution for PlayStation Remote Play."
