Sony's PS Portal, a handheld gaming accessory for the PS5, resembles an expanded DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen at its center. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device by streaming games directly from your console at up to 60fps. The controller retains all the hallmark features of the DualSense, such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen that substitutes for the touchpad. You can even stream games away from home, provided you have a consistently fast and stable internet connection. Remember that the PS Portal is not a standalone gaming system; it functions exclusively as a remote player for the PlayStation 5, meaning a PS5 is mandatory for operation.

Owning a PS5 is no longer a strict requirement for using the PS Portal. Beyond merely streaming from a $500 console to a $200 handheld, Sony has integrated a feature enabling direct game streaming from its PlayStation Now cloud service. With recent beta updates introduced in April, Portal users can connect either to their PS5 or directly to Sony's cloud servers. Opting for the latter grants access to a library of over 120 titles, including Ghost of Tsushima, Resident Evil 3 Remake, The Last of Us Part 1 Remastered, and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Please note this requires a subscription to the premium tier of PlayStation Plus, but at $18 monthly, it presents a more appealing alternative to purchasing each new game individually.

It's important to mention that the PlayStation Portal isn't the sole method for streaming PS5 games over your home Wi-Fi. You can replicate its core function by installing the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device or other handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, this setup is generally more complex and sacrifices some of the native DualSense controller features.
