The PS Portal transforms your PS5 into a gaming handheld, allowing you to stream games from your console at up to 60fps. It features an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen and mirrors the DualSense controller's features, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface. It's perfect for playing outside your home, provided you have a very stable and fast internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to function.

Excitingly, Sony has introduced a feature enabling PS Portal owners to stream games directly from the PlayStation Now cloud streaming service without needing a PS5. This update lets you access a 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 utilize this feature, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 a month—a more cost-effective option than purchasing a PS5 and games individually.

While the PS Portal offers a seamless way to stream PS5 games over Wi-Fi, alternatives exist. You can achieve similar functionality by downloading the PS Remote Play app on mobile devices, including other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setting up these alternatives can be more complicated, and you may 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."
