The PlayStation Portal is Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory designed for the PS5 console. It resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen nestled between the grips. This device transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming system by streaming games from your console at up to 60fps. It replicates the advanced features of the DualSense, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen interface that substitutes for the traditional touchpad. While it can stream games outside your home, you'll need a very stable and fast internet connection. Remember, the PS Portal isn't a standalone device; it's a remote player for the PlayStation 5, requiring a PS5 to operate.
Update: You no longer need a PS5 to play games on the PS Portal. Sony has rolled out a feature that allows the Portal to stream games directly from its PlayStation Now cloud streaming service. This means Portal owners can now choose to connect to their PS5 or directly to Sony’s cloud servers, unlocking 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. Note that you'll need a subscription to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which costs $18 a month, making it a more affordable option compared to buying a PS5 and individual games.
While the PlayStation Portal is excellent for streaming PS5 games over Wi-Fi at home, you can achieve similar functionality using the PS Remote Play app on other devices like smartphones or the Steam Deck. However, setting it up is more complicated, and you may miss out on some DualSense features.
PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy**
"The PlayStation Portal has exceeded my expectations, turning skepticism into admiration. It offers a vastly superior experience to using a phone with an attached controller and performs better than I anticipated. I appreciate the flexibility it provides to play my PS5 games from anywhere with decent WiFi, particularly useful when my family occupies the TV with the Switch. However, it's not a standalone device and still requires a PS5. The device's limitations include the absence of WiFi login via a web browser and no Bluetooth audio support. Despite these drawbacks, the Portal is the best current solution for PlayStation Remote Play. Without these issues, it would be an essential accessory for every PS5 owner interested in handheld gaming or needing to share the household TV."
