Sony's PS Portal transforms your PS5 into a handheld gaming system, featuring an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen flanked by DualSense-style controllers. This innovative device streams your PS5 games at up to 60fps while preserving core DualSense features including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and touchscreen functionality replacing the traditional touchpad. While primarily designed for home use, remote play is possible when connected to exceptionally stable high-speed internet.
Recent updates have expanded the Portal's functionality beyond PS5 streaming. Users can now access PlayStation's cloud gaming service (currently in beta), offering a catalog of 120+ titles including Ghost of Tsushima and Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales. This alternative access method requires a PlayStation Plus Premium subscription ($18/month), potentially reducing the need for individual game purchases.
While third-party alternatives like the PS Remote Play app exist, the Portal delivers a more seamless experience with full DualSense integration that mobile solutions can't match.
Review Highlights
"The PlayStation Portal surpassed all my skeptical expectations. It provides a significantly better experience than phone-based remote play solutions while offering genuine freedom to game away from your TV. The device's only notable limitations are its current inability to connect to WiFi networks requiring browser authentication and lack of Bluetooth audio support. Were these addressed, I'd consider it essential for all PS5 owners." - Seth Macy
