The PlayStation Portal resembles an extended DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen nestled in the middle. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device, allowing you to stream games at up to 60fps. The controller retains all the beloved features of the DualSense, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface that takes the place of the traditional touchpad. Keep in mind, however, that you'll need a very stable and fast internet connection to enjoy seamless gameplay, especially if you're streaming away from home. The PS Portal is not a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to operate.

Exciting news for PlayStation Portal owners: You no longer need a PS5 to play games! Sony has rolled out a feature allowing you to stream games directly from its PlayStation Now cloud streaming service. This means you can access a vast 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, without needing a PS5. To take advantage of this, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 a month—a much more budget-friendly option compared to buying a PS5 and individual games.

While the PlayStation Portal offers a unique way to stream your PS5 games over Wi-Fi within your home, you can achieve similar functionality by downloading the PS Remote Play app on other devices, such as smartphones or the Steam Deck. However, setting this up can be more complex, and you might miss out on some of the DualSense's signature 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."
