The PlayStation Portal, despite never having been discounted when new, is now available at a reduced price through Amazon Resale. You can snag a Used: Like New condition PS Portal for just $158.70, complete with shipping. This represents a significant 20% off its original $199 retail price. While the inclusion of a Sony warranty is uncertain, Amazon Resale items come with the same 30-day return policy as new purchases. Given the popularity of this deal, we anticipate that stock will be depleted quickly.

The item looks and functions as if it were new, though moderate packing damage was observed during inspection.

The PS Portal, Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory for the PS5, resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen integrated into the center. This device allows you to transform your PS5 into a portable gaming console by streaming games at up to 60fps. It retains all the hallmark features of the DualSense, such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen that replaces the traditional touchpad. While the PS Portal can stream games outside your home, it requires a very stable and fast internet connection. It's crucial to understand that the PS Portal is not a standalone unit; it needs a PS5 to function as a remote player.

Update: You no longer need a PS5 to enjoy games on the PS Portal. Sony has introduced a feature allowing users to stream games directly from their PlayStation Now cloud streaming service, bypassing the need for a PS5 console. This update gives Portal owners the flexibility to either connect to their PS5 or directly to Sony's cloud servers, providing access to 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. To utilize this feature, a subscription to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus is required, which costs $18 per month—a more economical option than purchasing a PS5 and additional games.

It's worth noting that the PlayStation Portal isn't the only way to stream PS5 games over Wi-Fi within your home. You can achieve similar functionality by using the PS Remote Play app on other devices, such as mobile phones or the Steam Deck. However, setting this up is more complex, 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."
