The PlayStation Portal is Sony's innovative handheld accessory designed for the PS5 console. It resembles an extended DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen integrated into its center. This device allows you to stream games from your PS5 at up to 60fps, offering the full range of DualSense features such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface in place of the traditional touchpad. While the Portal requires a stable and fast internet connection, it can be used both at home and away from it. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; you need a PS5 to enjoy its capabilities.

Update: You no longer need a PS5 to play games on the PS Portal. Sony has rolled out an update that allows the Portal to stream games directly from its PlayStation Now cloud service, eliminating the need for a PS5 console. This update gives Portal owners the flexibility to either connect to their PS5 or directly to Sony's cloud servers, accessing 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. However, to utilize this feature, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 per month—a more budget-friendly option than purchasing a PS5 and individual games.

It's worth noting that while the PlayStation Portal offers a seamless streaming experience for PS5 games, you can also achieve similar functionality by using the PS Remote Play app on other devices, such as mobile phones or the Steam Deck. However, setting this up is more complex and lacks some of the DualSense's unique features.

PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy**

"The PlayStation Portal has exceeded my expectations in the most delightful way. Initially skeptical, I found it to be a far superior experience compared to using a phone with an attached controller. The freedom to play my PS5 games anywhere with a reliable WiFi connection has been a game-changer, particularly when my family occupies the TV with their Switch. Although it's not a standalone device and requires a PS5 to operate, the Portal's potential is slightly hampered by its inability to connect to WiFi that requires a web browser login and its lack of Bluetooth audio support. Despite these limitations, it remains the best solution for PlayStation Remote Play currently available. If not for these issues, I'd recommend it as an essential accessory for any PS5 owner who values handheld gaming or needs to share the household TV."
