The PlayStation Portal is Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory designed for the PS5 console. Resembling an extended DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen, it transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device by streaming games at up to 60fps. The Portal retains all the beloved features of the DualSense, such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface that replaces the traditional touchpad. It's important to note that the PS Portal requires a very stable and fast internet connection to stream games effectively, even when you're away from home. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; you'll need a PS5 to enjoy its capabilities.
Update: You no longer need a PS5 to play games on the PS Portal. Sony has expanded its functionality by allowing Portal users to stream games directly from the PlayStation Now cloud streaming service, bypassing the need for a PS5 console. This update opens up a vast library of over 120 games, including 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'll need to subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which is a more cost-effective option at $18 per month compared to purchasing a PS5 and individual games.
While the PlayStation Portal offers a convenient way to stream PS5 games within your home, you can achieve similar functionality using the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device or other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setting up the app can be more complicated, and you might 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."
