Used: Like New Condition

The device looks and functions as if it were new, with only moderate packing damage observed during inspection.

The PlayStation Portal, Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory for the PS5, resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen integrated into the middle. This device transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming console, allowing you to stream games directly from your console at up to 60fps. It retains all the beloved features of the DualSense, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface that replaces the traditional touchpad. However, to enjoy gaming on the go, you'll need access to a very stable and fast internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it's designed to work exclusively with the PlayStation 5.

In a significant update, Sony has expanded the functionality of the PS Portal. Now, you no longer need a PS5 to play games on it. Thanks to a new feature, owners can stream games directly from Sony's PlayStation Now cloud streaming service. By connecting the Portal to Sony's cloud servers, you gain access to over 120 games, including popular titles like Ghost of Tsushima, Resident Evil 3 Remake, The Last of Us Part 1 Remastered, and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. To take advantage of this, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 a month—a much more appealing option than purchasing a $500 console plus additional game costs.

It's worth noting that the PlayStation Portal isn't the only way to stream PS5 games over Wi-Fi within your home. You can achieve similar results by using the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device, including other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setting this up 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."
