The PS Portal, crafted by Sony, transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device by streaming games at up to 60fps on its 8-inch 1080p LCD screen, sandwiched between what looks like an extended split-pad DualSense controller. It retains the DualSense's haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen that replaces the traditional touchpad. While the Portal requires a strong and stable internet connection to stream games from your PS5, even when you're away from home, it's not a standalone device; a PS5 is essential for its operation.
Update: You no longer need a PS5 to play games on the PS Portal. Sony has recently introduced a game-changing feature allowing Portal owners to stream games directly from the 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 enjoy this feature, you need to subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which at $18 a month, offers a more affordable alternative to purchasing a PS5 and individual games.
It's worth mentioning that while the PlayStation Portal is an excellent device for streaming PS5 games within your home, you can achieve similar functionality by using the PS Remote Play app on other devices like smartphones or the Steam Deck. However, setting this up can be more complicated, 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."
