The PlayStation Portal is Sony's innovative handheld accessory designed for the PS5. It resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen nestled in the center. This device transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming experience, streaming games at up to 60fps. It retains all the beloved features of the DualSense, such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen that substitutes for the traditional touchpad. To enjoy gaming away from home, a robust and fast internet connection is essential. Note, however, that the PS Portal isn't a standalone unit; it's strictly a remote player for the PS5, necessitating the console for use.

Update: You no longer need a PS5 to play games on the PS Portal. Sony has expanded its capabilities by allowing Portal users to stream games directly from the PlayStation Now cloud service. This means you can access 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, without needing a PS5. To take advantage of this feature, you'll need to subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 per month—a more appealing option than investing in a $500 console and additional game purchases.

While the PlayStation Portal is a top choice for streaming PS5 games over Wi-Fi within your home, there are alternatives. You can achieve similar functionality by using the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device or another gaming handheld like the Steam Deck. However, setting it up can be more complex, 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."
