The PlayStation Portal, Sony's innovative handheld accessory for the PS5, resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen integrated into 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, such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen that replaces the traditional touchpad. While the Portal can stream games outside your home, it requires a very stable and fast internet connection. It's important to note that the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to function.
Update: You no longer need a PS5 to enjoy games on the PS Portal. Sony has introduced a feature enabling owners to stream games directly from PlayStation Now's cloud streaming service. This means Portal users can connect to Sony's cloud servers and 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. 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 compared to purchasing a PS5 and additional games.
While the PlayStation Portal offers a seamless 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 is more complex, and you may miss out on some of the DualSense's unique features.
PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy**
"The PlayStation Portal has exceeded my expectations, turning my initial skepticism into admiration. It's a far better experience than using a phone with a makeshift controller. I appreciate the freedom to play my PS5 from anywhere with decent WiFi, particularly when the TV is occupied by others. Although it's not a standalone device and requires a PS5, the Portal's main drawbacks are its inability to connect to WiFi that needs a web browser login and its lack of Bluetooth audio support. Despite these limitations, it's the best solution for PlayStation Remote Play currently available and a must-have for PS5 owners who enjoy handheld gaming or need to share the household TV."
