This device looks and functions as if it were new, though moderate packing damage may have been observed during inspection.
The PlayStation Portal, Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory for the PS5, resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen nestled in the center. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming powerhouse, allowing you to stream games from your console at up to 60fps. The controller boasts all the features of the DualSense, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen that substitutes for the traditional touchpad. While it can stream your games outside your home, a very stable and fast internet connection is essential. It's important to remember that the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it requires a PS5 to operate.
Update: You no longer need a PS5 to enjoy games on the PS Portal. Sony has rolled out a new feature enabling owners to stream games directly from their PlayStation Now cloud streaming service, bypassing the need for a PS5. This means Portal owners can now choose to connect to their PS5 or directly to Sony's cloud servers, accessing 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. Note that you'll need to subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, but at $18 a month, it's a far more cost-effective option than investing in a $500 console and additional games.
While the PlayStation Portal offers a unique way to stream PS5 games over Wi-Fi within your home, you can achieve similar functionality by downloading the PS Remote Play app on various mobile devices, including the Steam Deck. However, setting this up is more complex, and you may miss out on some of the DualSense's advanced features.
PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy**
"The PlayStation Portal is a device that pleasantly surprised me. Initially skeptical, I found it to be a vastly superior experience compared to using a phone with an attached controller. Its performance exceeded my expectations, and the freedom to play my PS5 games anywhere with decent WiFi has been a game-changer, especially when competing for TV time at home. While it's not a standalone device and requires a PS5 to function, the Portal's potential is slightly hampered by its inability to connect to WiFi networks that need a web browser login and its lack of Bluetooth audio support. Despite these limitations, it's the best current solution for PlayStation Remote Play, making it a compelling purchase for PS5 owners who enjoy handheld gaming."
