The PS Portal is designed to transform your PS5 into a portable gaming device, allowing you to stream games from your console at up to 60fps. It features an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen sandwiched between what appears to be an extended split-pad DualSense controller. It retains all the hallmark features of the DualSense, such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface in place of the touchpad. While it's perfect for gaming on the go, a very stable and fast internet connection is essential, especially if you're streaming outside your home. Note that the PS Portal isn't a standalone device; you'll need a PS5 to enjoy its capabilities.

Sony has recently updated the PS Portal to allow streaming directly from the PlayStation Now cloud service, eliminating the need for a PS5. This update lets you access 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 take advantage of this feature, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 per month—a far more budget-friendly option than purchasing a PS5 and additional games.

While the PS Portal offers a unique way to stream your PS5 games over Wi-Fi, it's worth mentioning that similar functionality can be achieved by using the PS Remote Play app on other devices, such as the Steam Deck. However, setting up this alternative is more complicated, and you'll miss out on some of the DualSense's distinctive 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."
