This unit looks and functions as if it were brand new, with only moderate packing damage observed during inspection.
The PlayStation Portal is designed like an extended DualSense controller, featuring an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen in the center. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device, allowing you to stream games at up to 60fps. The controller retains all the advanced features of the DualSense, such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface in place of the touchpad. For streaming outside your home, a very stable and fast internet connection is essential. Remember, the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to function.
Update: You no longer need a PS5 to play games on the PS Portal. Sony has introduced a feature allowing users to stream games directly from its PlayStation Now cloud streaming service. This means you can access a 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 owning a PS5. To use this feature, you must subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 per month—a more affordable option compared to purchasing a PS5 and games separately.
It's worth noting that you can also stream PS5 games over Wi-Fi using the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device, including other handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setting this up is 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 a surprisingly delightful device. It offers a significantly better experience than using a phone with an attached controller, and it exceeded my expectations. I appreciate the freedom to play my PS5 games anywhere with a decent WiFi connection, especially when the family is using the TV for other games. Despite requiring a PS5 to function and lacking WiFi login through a web browser and Bluetooth audio support, it remains the best current solution for PlayStation Remote Play. If not for these limitations, it would be a must-own for any PS5 owner interested in handheld gaming or needing to share the household TV."
