The PS Portal is Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory designed for the PS5 console. It resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen seamlessly integrated in the middle. This device transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming experience by streaming games from your console at up to 60fps. It replicates the advanced features of the DualSense controller, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface that replaces the traditional touchpad. The Portal allows for game streaming even when you're away from home, provided you have access to a stable and fast internet connection. However, remember that the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to function.

Excitingly, Sony has recently updated the PS Portal to allow streaming directly from its PlayStation Now cloud service, eliminating the need for a PS5. This new feature enables Portal owners to connect directly to Sony’s cloud servers and access over 120 games, including hits 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 affordable option than purchasing a PS5 and individual games.

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 functionality by using the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device or other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setting this up can be more complex, and you'll 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."
